Gingham and Ponchos








Poncho / Shirt / Pants / Necklace / Boots (similar

It's crazy how warm it's been recently in the north east.  Coming back home, I expected to be faced with cold temps and was looking forward to bundling up in my winter clothes for a change.  I was completely surprised to see such warm weather (it was a little warmer than Texas the other day!!).  Global warming is truly a scary thing, folks! 

Yesterday was the first cold day since I've been home, so I wore one of my favorite gingham button downs from J.Crew with this Lilly Pulitzer Poncho I stole from my Mom (Sorry Mom!).  This reminds me of a poncho I bought in the village I lived in during my stay in Italy that I'm regretting leaving behind at school.  It was funny to buy a cashmere poncho in the middle of the summer but right now I really wish I had it! 

The cold weather yesterday reminded me of one of my biggest pet peeves about the winter: static-y hair! My hair just gets so insanely static when it gets so cold and dry there's almost nothing I can do about it.  I've tried everything from using static guard as hairspray and carrying around dryer sheets to rub in my hair (surprisingly the later worked a little).  

This outfit though is really comfy regardless of whether it's 20 degrees and you need to throw on another layer or if it's 50 and this is just comfortable.  That's the beauty of a poncho-- it's essentially a blanket that you can wear around you and it's perfect for all temps in the fall and winter!

  3. That poncho is too adorable for words and don't get me started on the weather right now, ugh! Not exactly the white Christmas I've been dreaming of :\ . I hope you find your solution for the static!
