What I Wore: Pretty Pretty Poncho

On instagram the other day, I saw this incredible Heidi Merrick wool and leather poncho. It reminded me of my love for outwear - specifically ponchos/capes - whatever you prefer to call them (poncho worked for my alliterative title). 

It got me thinking that it's about time for me to break out the Pendleton cape that Dr. B got me for Christmas two years ago. It's the perfect piece for the transitional weather of fall. Paired with black pants, a black turtleneck, and red snakeskin pointy-toe flats and it was ready for prime time (okay, really just a day at the office - but prime time sounds better)(excuse the deer in headlights look).

If you're looking to punch up your fall wardrobe with a poncho, here are some options - of varying prices. 

H & M Cape - $59.95

Nordstrom Two-Tone Cape - $118

Zara Combination Cape - $189

Kate Spade Saturday Ponch - $220

MICHAEL Michael Kors Peacoat Cape - $295

Timber...

As you know, mixing "utility" pieces with chic and sophisticated ones is right on trend, as Katie shared last week, and as Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific demonstrates FLAWLESSLY.

If you want to achieve this look, there's no better place to go than Timberland. They offer functional and chic pieces that can easily be mixed with the most preppy, chic and sophisticated items in your closet! Happy shopping!
