And I nailed it! As far as I am concerned anyway. I cannot take nearly any of the credit because I got a lot of the inspiration for this outfit from one posted on the Market Publique Blog. When I stumbled upon Kate wearing this poncho in such a cool, casual way I fell in love.

I don’t look nearly as cool when I put my own twist on it, but we have established I’m not that cool in general. I am a skinny pant/jeans girl so I threw on my Minnie’s and my favorite Moc’s, I probably would have thrown on my Chuck’s if they weren’t hot pink.
Truth be told, I was getting rather frustrated with myself and my inabilility to style this damn thing. I fell in love with it the second I saw it in the store despite a girl walking up behind me and saying, “Look how ugly this issss……” until she looked up and saw me starring at her B-Face. It really clicked for me when I saw Kate wearing it with black and brown. Thanks ladies!!
P.S. Can I comment on how much of a bad-ass I am in that second to last pic?!
The List
Another Jeans Alternative! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these pants. I said it before but I can’t get over it. The rise is perfect to hold in my wobbly bits, while making my legs look great and they are as comfortable as yoga pants.

You did it! Great way to incorporate that poncho. And you will probably think I’m crazy for saying this, but I’m so jealous of all your snow pics. It looks so pretty!
