STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Poncho Perfection

Happy Holidays, Fashionista/os! Tis the season of traveling to see family, hosting gift exchanges with friends and baking endless pans of cookies and sweet treats. Wherever her December takes her, this Fashionista has the perfect poncho to get her through the hustle and bustle of one of the busiest times of the year.

There’s a lot to love about the poncho, but my personal favorite aspect about them is how it’s like wearing a blanket while still looking put together! Nothing is better than being wrapped up in something cozy during the cold winter months ahead, and this sweater definitely gets the job done. This Fashionista even layered a simple long sleeve underneath for added warmth and comfort. Pairing the statement piece with black jeans and the cutest open-toe booties pulled her look together. Many still seem hesitant on the trend of mixing metals, but I loved how she wasn’t afraid to do so when it came to her jewelry. The gold and black bangles complement her bag and shoes while the silver ones coordinate nicely with the cooler tone of the poncho. Adding a little wave to your hair like she did is sure to amp up your holiday outfit and add a little glam to wherever it takes you.

The poncho is so transitional that not only can you wear it over winter break, but this Fashionista says she even will wear it to class. Tone down your look by throwing on your favorite leggings and some riding boots, and you’re ready to go. Dress it up or dress it down—this look has definitely inspired me to add this season’s perfect piece to my closet.
