The classic poncho needs no introduction. I remember when I first came across a poncho in the middle of Forever 21 years ago, my world was changed. So – why do I love ponchos? I could really go on about this style all day long but I will try to keep it short.
First, flattering! As you all know I am a huge online shopper. When there is an opportunity to buy something which I know has almost no chance of being a “return item”, I add to cart.
Second, comfortable. In a life where we are all go-go-go, comfort is key. I wake up in the morning and go from spin, to home, work, Target, back to work, to other errands, coffee shops, and let’s not forget a girl has to eat everywhere in-between. Something which makes a day laid out like the above less manageable is wearing a piece you cannot control.
Third, versatile. This is the main thing I look for when shopping. My family used to call me a shopaholic – and OK, still true to a sense. I have changed my ways drastically in recent years though! I used to buy a bold stand out piece to discover I would never wear it again. As I got older and wiser in the shopping department, one-time wear pieces had no place in my closet. I paired this blue check poncho with leather leggings but you could also wear it with a skirt, jeans, even throw it over a little black dress if you are using it as a layering piece.
In closing I would like to add that this poncho is one of the softest things I have ever owned. Also a selling point for me!
I hope you have a great rest of your week – the weekend is only 2 short days away!
