Poncho Series, 5 of 5
It’s a wrap! Not the top, but the series. This is 5 of 5, and we have made it to the end. Are you sick of ponchos yet? I hope you will enjoy this last one.
I love the cable knitting on this poncho. It is the prettiest one that I have worn, at least in my opinion. This poncho is by Inis Crafts and is 100% merino wool. I can’t remember if I bought this at Marshall’s or T J Maxx, but I found it on ebay here. This is a “true” poncho, so you have to wear a shirt or tank top under it. It was warm here, in the high 60’s, so I only have a tank top on.
I pinned a huge pearl brooch to it that I bought at a vintage fashion show. And added a pair of gold Stella & Dot leaf earrings. These earrings have a cute row of rhinestones that run down the center.
I decided to stay with the Stella & Dot theme, and added a leaf gold cuff bracelet. The purse is also Stella & Dot, and is one of my favorites. I carried it almost everyday last year, and I still like it. That is unusual for me, since I get tired of items fast. Most of the time, when I quit carrying a purse, it never comes out of retirement. 
The large pearl bracelet is one that I got at Cato’s earlier this fall. I thought it helped to “tie” in the brooch. The leopard print shoes are also from Cato, a last years purchase. Here is a similar paid from Express. These pants are corduroy boot cut, and came from Old Navy.
I hope this post made a little sense. I have just driven for 9 hours, and I might be just a little loopey. I know the trip only takes 6 hours, but a girl has to shop along the way. The sacrifices I make, for you, my readers. Lol!
Today makes two months that I have been blogging. So, you know what that means, a giveaway! I will be giving away a signed copy of my sister’s book, “Last in a Long Line of Rebels”. This book was chosen by Amazon as a book of the month for October, and Barnes & Nobel just chose it as one of five books you need to spend time reading, Just comment below to be entered, and I will post the winner next Friday.

Love your blog! As a 58 year old I found it very hard to dress! You make it easier! P.S. I purchased the Old Navy T “Mascara and Coffee” I can’t wait to wear it!
Thank you so much for this blog! And I do love the Ponchos.
I will just say once again that I love your blog! You are funny, gorgeous and you sense of style is what I aim for. Keep up the great advice! How big is your closet? I feel like I have a ton of clothes but just cannot get the outfits together. I use your pictures as a reference but still feel I miss the mark when trying to get an outfit completed so I refer back to my safe style. Anytime I veer from the norm I get nervous and think people will think I am trying too hard so I revert back to vanilla. Help me……
Debbie, I know how you feel. I get dressed a lot of times, and then go to work and see myself in the mirror and think, “what were you thinking?”. I’ve even yanked off scarves, jackets, etc. We are probably out biggest critics. The funny thing is, the outfit that I think the people at work are going to say something about, they just seem to ignore. It makes me wonder if they are using their mother’s advice, “if you don’t have something nice to say, then say nothing at all”. LOL! Either way, in the long run, who really cares. Be brave, and send me your picture so I can see “strawberry or chocolate”. ????
I am really enjoying your blog! So happy I found it. Looking for a poncho, but just haven’t found the right one yet, but I will.
Tania, I found your blog a week or so ago, and enjoyed your posts and style so much that I read all the way back to the beginning. I’m really liking all of the ponchos that I see on bloggers and in the stores. I have bought one or two, just haven’t gotten around to wearing them yet. I hope I like them on me too!
My favorite of your ponchos were number 4 and 5, especially number 5, the color, fiber, and cables!
Sooo…I have to tell you that I LOVE your style! So pulled together, updated, and a little funky. I’ve been wanting to comment for awhile, so I have lots to say. Lol! You are DEF not too old to be styling distressed jeans–they look fantastic on you and I adore the way you accessorize all your outfits. This is neither here nor there, but I am a good deal younger than 50, and I am inspired by many of your looks. I bought the cute Talbots dog sweater, and am drooling over the leopard sweatshirt. Do you mind sharing how tall you are? I am short and tiny, so it’s hard to gauge length of some of the items you show…
Anyway, fantastic blog. I love checking in every morning for more great ideas. Am a tiny bit jealous that you love so close to a qvc outlet. You seem to score in BIG way there 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration!
Lol, Michelle. You have made me laugh. I kind of like being a little funky???? I am around 5’6, just so you can gauge the length of items. I do tend to wear long shirts, ponchos, sweaters, etc. I’m glad you are following, and it looks like we need to have a large get together for everyone at the QVC outlet. Hahaha
I absolutely love love your blog.
Thanks Kimberly????
I have new hope for dressing at the age of 58! Fun, dignified and classy…I love it.
I just recently found your blog and want to tell you that I love your style! So many fashion bloggers out there but you come closest to my own style. Just recently discovered Cato also and love that store! Keep on rocking those looks. Classy and sassy!
I love, love your blog. So glad I found you. I love your style. I love the ponchos
but my favorite is the first one. Thank you so much for the inspirations. Love every one of your posts.
Loving your look! Can’t wait to see all your vintage finds! Get some rest ????
Looking forward to your vintage finds. My favorite look was the color blocked poncho
You have me searching for ponchos in a whole new light. You look so beautiful in the ones you are wearing. I like the way you have chosen them not to overwhelm your shape. Thank you for inspiring me!
Love all of the ponchos on you – thanks for sharing!
I’m enjoying your blog. I showed your picture to one of my coworkers and she thought she was looking at herself. It’s uncanny! I’d love to read your sister’s book.
Been following your blog since you first started. I’m so impressed with all you’ve done in two months. Congratulations! I love all your outfits, tips and the beauty posts. Everything is so real. Keep it up!
I love your poncho. It is such a great way to put the wow in an outfit. Your double large pearl bracelet is beautiful and those leopard shoes!!

Love all the ponchos…but I have to say this one is my favorite! Love the neutral color. Looks awesome on you! ????
Love all of these! I’m inspired to try a poncho. Enjoy your weekend in Atlanta.
I check everyday as well. I have really enjoyed the poncho’s I have purchased 3 so far! I’m not very tall and hoped I could wear them nicely. You have a nice flair and I enjoy imitating some of your looks! Thanks for being an inspiration to us gals over 50!
Congrats on your blogiversary. I would love to win the book. What a creative family!
I love ponchos. It reminds me of the 1970’s when I wore them. You have great style. Love your blog.
Looking forward to cooler temps so I can wear my ponchos! Like the idea of using brooches on ponchos. Accessories really make any outfit!
I’ve enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful ponchos and I enjoy reading your blog! Congrats on your two month anniversary!!
I love that poncho. So versatile!
This one is my absolute favorite even though I like all the posts. I’m so glad I stumbled on your blog….real clothes for real women. Thank you so much for sharing. You are the first blog I check every day
