Last week I posed a challenge to one of my favorite bloggy buds, Naina from Style’N. I thought it would be fun if we selected a fall trend and each styled it. Naina suggested the poncho. I jumped at the chance to work this particular piece into my wardrobe as I love the look, but just hadn’t pulled the trigger and bought one yet. So, I headed over to my favorite vintage shop, Misred Outfitters, and lucked out by scoring a fabulous vintage poncho. It was part of the same haul as my red blazer and gold mesh bag! It was quite the successful trip, but I digress…
I decided to style my poncho (similar here) with Banana Republic skinnies (similar here), a vintage necklace also from Misred Outfitters, a family heirloom gold cuff, my T+J Designs Glam Leatherette Ring and my beloved vintage suede boots. Y’all know I’ve been itching to bust out my mama’s boots!
What do you think lovelies? Is the poncho welcome in your wardrobe? And on a side note…I would love tips on how to keep fringe untangled. I untangled the fringe on my poncho umpteen times only to have it tangle up again. Le sigh.
Now that you’ve seen my look, head on over to Style’N to see how Naina styled her poncho! And when you’re done with that, check out my guest post over at The Loudmouth Lifestyle!

Love the poncho! It looks light enough to actually wear in Florida now. Toss it on over a cami or a tank with jeans and you are off and running for an evening out.

Wow Kristin-you look fabulous in the at vintage poncho. Seriously I wore these all the time as a little girl-wish I still had my ponchos! And I love how you added a bit of drama and fun to your outfit with the beaded necklace and killer boots. And I love how you and I styled our outfits so differently to reflect our own personal style. Thank you so much for asking me to participate in your style challenge-I am so flattered!
xoxo, Naina

I love the poncho with the red boots. My mother actually has a vintage poncho similar to that. I would have taken it out of her storage closet but I would look like a big blob with tassels and not a stylish lady. I’m so jealous.

LOVE IT!!!! x

This outfit is so chic!! You pull off the poncho very well and your red boots are amazing!

Super cute!!! Fringe = THE DEVIL!!! Clothes, pillows, blankets, you name it, if it’s at my house it’s tangled! Let me know if you figure out a way for that not to happen.

That’s a good poncho for Florida!

I’m more of a cape girl rather than poncho but you’re rocking this look! The boots are fantastic – I see why you’ve been anxious to pull them out.
[Reply]
What goes around, comes around! I had a poncho a few years ago but didn’t know how to wear it well so it ended up being sent to Good Will. Now I wish I’d kept it!
[Reply]
what an adorable outfit! love the color of your boots
[Reply]
So cute as always!!!
[Reply]
Oh my gosh, you are smokin’ hot! I’m loving capes & ponchos this year. And I love the fringe detail on yours. But those boots are just straight up sexy. WOW!
[Reply]
I love the added the red in this look! You look like a gorgeous modern vintage lady!
[Reply]
I never got into ponchos, but you’re totally rocking yours!! You look amazing. And love the boots as well.
[Reply]
Ponchos are back and I love it!!! I have also been wearing a brown one these last few gorgeous London fall days.
Hope you are doing wonderfully!!!
[Reply]

OOH! I looove this look!! Such perfection!! I always think ponchos will look dumb on me, but they look awesome on other people so maybe I should try them

Kristin, you OWN this outfit! So gorgeous. I admit, my mom made me a poncho back in the day but for some reason I asked her to make me this mauve-kind-of-pink so I have no clue how to make it into an outfit now. I’d love to get a neutral coloured one like this and dress it up with accessories!
[Reply]
Oooh, that’s an amazing look! I remember having a poncho like 5 years ago when they were a trend, haha.
[Reply]
Tan + Red = Winner.
I love the vintage feel of the lacey poncho but paired with those smokin’ red suede boots you’ve boosted it into overtime STYLE! Wowzahs. More ponchos, please.
[Reply]
The boots & poncho! So perfect.
[Reply]
I will fight you for those boots Kristin
[Reply]
I ADORE it. Love it all. Good stuff. Especially the BR skinnies. I think my upcoming birthday is just the excuse to finally go out a purchase me a pair. Happy Fall!
