What time is it? Poncho Time!

October 27, 2015

I’m so excited to share this look with you today! This look was a result of me having a little fun with my poncho and really wanting to style it different then just throwing it over my outfit.

If you have a petite frame this is a perfect look for you because a poncho like this can easily overwhelm your body. Adding a belt will accentuate your waist, you can wrap the belt all the way over the outside of the poncho. I chose not to just because I wanted a little more movement for my arms and didn’t want to have to worry about constantly fixing or pulling down the poncho.

I went with a shift dress because to be honest, Houston is just too hot for OTK boots or too many long layers (we are still in the 90’s here). I also wanted to showcase my flats (which are currently my favorite pair and on major repeat)!

Lately I have been obsessed with adding bold colors here and there and making them pop with my outfit. The idea for the bold red lip came from my watch, this watch is from RumbaTime from their Soho Seude Collection. The collection is perfect for fall, and for $60, they are the perfect holiday gift! Can you believe this lip color is from H&M Beauty? The H&M by our house finally put out some beauty products and I went a little crazy with almost every lip color and this color is definitely my favorite!

Can’t forget to mention and give a shout out to the sweet RongRong for my adorable phone case! This girl has got so much talent it’s not even funny (you have to check out her fashion illustrations). She is the girl behind my logo, she was able to put my vision on paper and I’m so grateful for it! Thanks RongRong!

I hope you have a great Tuesday!
