SOFT, FEMININE AND ELEGANT

Soft, feminine, and elegant -what’s not to like? Today for your viewing pleasure I am bringing you the perfect lightweight poncho courtesy of one of my FAVORITE shops, the Purple Poppy. Whenever I get an email from Erin asking me if I would like to style something from her shop I stop what I am doing and go look immediately. That tells me that she got in some new items and I can’t wait to go to her website and check out the new arrivals. Before we get to the poncho though I am going to tell you about this dress that I have on. The dress is a Barbara Gerwit Palm Dress that I got from the Purple Poppy back in March. I wore this when I went to San Diego and I have worn it many times since then on date nights and shopping trips. I’ve often thought that this dress would be really cute to wear to a summer wedding or event but I did worry about getting chilly. As soon as I saw the poncho I knew that my problem was solved. This is the Caroline Grace Tassel Poncho in the color turquoise. I love, love, love this color!!! It is vibrant and just the right hue for spring and summer, but turquoise is also a huge color trend for the fall season! One of my favorite color combinations is dark brown and turquoise. I guess we will have to style this again with those colors to show you how nice it looks. This is 95% cotton and 5% cashmere so it is durable AND extremely soft. Did I mention that this poncho is also versatile? It’s Friday night and that means high school football games to me. I simply put my head through the opening of the poncho and let it drape down in front. This is a perfect way to have some warmth around my neck and since it is soft, I don’t have to worry about it being scratchy. The tassels are nice and full and make the poncho very stylish. Tassels are still a huge fashion trend and you will be very stylish when you wear this poncho. Just because I am going to a football game it doesn’t mean that I don’t want to look nice. I admit that I have worn my share of sweatshirts to football games but those days are over. If I have my choice of looking like this or wearing a sweatshirt you already know what I would choose.  Here is yet another way to wear this poncho. No one would even realize that you are wearing a poncho and not a scarf. Instead of putting my head through the opening of the poncho, I wrapped it around my neck and inserted the other end of the poncho through it. Seriously, how cute is this??? I am wearing this with a simple white button-down, a pair of jeans, and a navy jacket. While that is a classic look, you have to admit that the scarf adds some flair (as well as warmth) to the outfit.So, whether you are going to an outdoor wedding, going out to dinner in a restaurant that freezes you to death, going to a church where they think that the temperature needs to be in the 60’s, or heading out to a ballgame this would be perfect. It’s soft, feminine, and elegant.
