Ponchos and More Ponchos

Ponchos are the perfect transition piece from Winter into Spring! They're the perfect outer piece for layering and can keep you warm on frigid days and cool on windy days. Here is the first look in my Ponchos and More Ponchos Series.

Chevron has been a popular print for a few seasons and is a fresh take on a traditional striped pattern. The chevron poncho I'm wearing below was purchased from Rue21 for $10.00 during their Christmas sale. Unlike most ponchos, it features arm holes rather than the typical flowy shape.

I choose to style this poncho with a pair of flared jeans for a boho look, and an orange shirt layered underneath to one of the many colors in the poncho. The flares I'm wearing were purchased from Charlotte Russe for $10. I feel ponchos look best with a flared or wide leg pant to elongate the leg, however, this look could also be styled with a skinny pant.

If you're feeling daring, pair this poncho with a pair of boyfriend shorts and gladiator heels on a warm Spring day. On the contrary, rugged look can be created by adding this poncho with a pair of heavily distressed jeans. Because the poncho is such a bold color, I would recommend avoiding a colored pant with this look.

Stayed tuned for my next look in the Ponchos and More Ponchos Series!
