As you can probably tell, these photos were taken before I left for Florida. What you probably can’t tell is that we chose the coldest/windiest day of the entire month to shoot these photos. At one point, a strong gust of wind blew the hat off of my head, which meant that I had to chase it half way down the street. Not fun guys, not fun.
But…you know what is fun? Wearing a poncho…especially when said poncho has a hood and fringe detailing. Ponchos are very popular this season, but they can be a little bit tricky to pull off. Here’s my tips for how to wear a poncho sweater:
Keep your outfit balanced.
Since ponchos are oversized, stick with leggings or skinny jeans, so you don’t look like you’re drowning in your outfit.
Stick with colours/patterns that you feel comfortable in.
If you typically wear neutrals, maybe this isn’t the time to experiment with brights.
Pair the poncho with your favourite accessories.
Do you feel polished when you put on a floppy hat or killer pair of heels? Throw them on with the poncho and see how it makes you feel!

UGH, it’s literally the worst, because aside from how awful it feels, your hair gets messy and makeup runs and it’s just not pretty.
Alecz says
You look so awesome! I love how you styled this poncho with the leather leggings. They add a really fun, edgy touch to the look.

Haha I’m hardly edgy, but the leggings do give off that type of vibe 🙂

Give me a good old poncho and I am ready to take over the world. Except I don’t own one.lol. They look weird on me. Love this look on you though.
Jackie says
I’m sure they don’t look weird on you at all…but I totally get that we all look at ourselves MUCH more critically that others do.
Patricia Luiza says
You’re wearing it fabulously for sure!
Fashionably,

Deborah says
Ahh I love that your poncho has a hood!! That’s amazing and what a great little detail that totally elevates the entire look!
Great tips on poncho-rocking! I can’t wear one without being reminded of my middle-school self haha but maybe if I had one with a hood like yours… :]
Jackie says
I definitely didn’t wear ponchos back in those days. I was the least fashionable person ever back then! I love fringes and hoods, so when I saw this poncho had both, I was like…YES.
Emma says
Yours is fabulous! I loveeeee the fringe

It’s the worse taking photos on the coldest day and it ALWAYS happens when you can only take photos. #bloggerproblems. But I love that poncho sweater and I totally agree it is all about balance! Those leather leggings look great with the poncho!

UGH, it’s definitely the ultimate #bloggerproblem that only us Northerners understand. It’s a real struggle!

Okay, I’ve been holding back on the poncho because it was one of my signature looks when I was like 3. But with the leather leathers that takes it to a new level!

I love my poncho from Old Navy, but it doesn’t have a hood. Now I want one with a hood! And that’s some serious fringe going on. Great find!
