THE PONCHO STYLE
I would like a show of hands if you are married or if you have ever been married. You gurls are going to understand my pain then. Joe is in the proverbial doghouse!!! He has a bad case of foot in mouth disease and until he gets cured I am afraid that he needs to be in isolation. Lol! I have heard that it is contagious and I would hate for it to spread. 
His first symptom was when he was talking the other day about needing to go on a diet. Later on that day he was eating everything in sight so I mentioned that he was wanting to go on a diet. His answer was, “I didn’t want to go on a diet, I wanted YOU to go on a diet.” You and I both know that is not the words that a sane man would ever utter. Then, later that night I had got in bed before him so I was all nice and toasty warm. He got in bed and said, “Ooooh, I am cold. Throw that thunder thigh over me and warm me up.” I heard all of you gasp all the way here in Virginia. Today he has complimented me all day long……….not going to work!!! 
Some of you have mentioned that Friday is supposed to be casual Friday. This is my casual look. This is as simple as it comes without wearing a birthday suit and just ask Joe, you don’t want to see that. Lol! This is a sweater and a pair of pants and I am sure everyone has that in their closet. This is a strange top in some ways. It is like a poncho because it is a square piece of material but then it has sleeves. I do love this casual style because it doesn’t touch me anywhere. There are no bumps or bulges for Joe to make fun of. Lol! He is really going to pay for a while.
Since I wore this month’s Plunder Posse (here) already recently I decided to wear a different necklace today. It was also a Posse purchase but I don’t remember which month it was. It came with the larger bracelet that I have on. The smaller bracelet is the Ashlyn. It has the same ivory and gold beads that the Posse bracelet has but they are smaller. Both are on an elastic band and fits up to 8.5 inches. I mentioned the other day in this post that I liked gray and browns together and Plunder Design must also. Here is where you can go to sign up for the Posse. The earrings that I have on are the Judy and they are in a gunmetal color. These are made in a filigree design and they have a 3″ drop. 
It was very windy when I was taking my pictures. I was freezing to death because I didn’t have on any kind of shirt under the poncho. After I finished with the pictures I went back into the bedroom and found me a black tank top to wear under this. It was a really good thing that I did too because this was what I wore to Charlottesville and it was even windier there. When we were unloading the luggage from the vehicle I thought I was going to get frostbite. Brrrr. I have a pair of Rockstar jeans on in a caramel color from Old Navy. I think that these run true to size and I am wearing a size 10. BTW, today a LOT of online stores will be offering FREE shipping so skip the malls and shop in the comfort of your own home.

lump of coal for his stocking ☺
Lol!!!
You wear a size 10? That is so small. What was he thinking. What happened to “if you don’t have something good to say….” This poncho look is one of your best ever, beautiful color and great before and after pics.
I don’t think that his momma taught him that little saying. Lol! In his defense, I have gained weight but that is not the point.
You look great!!
Thanks, Donna!
Oooooohhh! That will teach him to make comments like that when his wife’s blog has an international reach! ? I think you look quite slim and lovely in this outfit!
Yep! I told him that I was going to tell on him. Lol!!!
What a relief to know that you are not in jail for dealing with hubby however a plea of temporary insanity would have worked and if you had a woman judge he would have ended up paying a fine! ??? you are and look GORGEOUS and love the outfit completely! Tell Joe is going to take a hefty piece of jewelry under the tree for you to get over this, lol!
Hahaha! That is soooo true!!!
Your eyelashes are AMAZING!?.
Husbands…I cannot even claim to begin to understand how they think! LOL. Of course my husband says things too, and I often get my feelings hurt, and he doesn’t even seem to notice he has said anything. You are beautiful, and I am sure Joe knows that. Just to be safe, do keep him locked up some place until he’s no longer contagious.?
Half of the time he just likes poking at me. I don’t get my feelings hurt, I get EVEN!
I always said I never none of my friends husbands were any different than mine. My husband has said things to me too. We have been married 40 years. He makes comments when I lose weight. He doesn’t like me very thin. He is not heavy but has a stomach, I never say anything!
I know what you mean, Bonnie. I overlook things or at least I try to.
He’s cheeky!
Season greetings from England ??
Nicky
He certainly is!!!
Hi Tania! Is your poncho sweater from Macy’s (Alfsni)? Your links take me there but I can’t find that color. I love your color combo/coordination! Thanks!

Christine, my poncho is several years old and no longer in stock. I just linked to some other ones that I thought looked similar.
Hi! Sorry about your husband. My son and his baby have it now. We live in SC.
This mess sure is traveling!!!
Goodness, I was afraid this stuff would spread. Lol!
I love your style. And your articles. Keep them coming
