I am completely obsessed with this comfy and warm poncho sweater that I found on my day trip to Boston a couple of weeks ago! I've shared that during my senior year of college, my style has become a lot more laid-back on many school days. I'm really starting to take advantage of the fact that this probably the last year of my life for a long time that I have the freedom to dress down as often as I want! Poncho sweaters are a great way to still look put together for class or school commitments, but they require almost minimal effort on your part in terms of putting an outfit together. And if the weather is mild enough, you don't even need a jacket on top- it's a total all-in-one!
I rediscovered this cute black purse from Target in my room while I was home for Christmas break. This was a favorite bag of mine over the last couple of years, and I forgot how much I truly liked it! I was so excited to see that this purse is still being sold at Target, so go and snatch it up if you're looking for a new bag that's both very affordable and also very cute! It also comes in a variety of other colors.
My dad took these blog photos for me on Christmas Eve, outside of a fun Christmas lights display near one of my favorite stores in the Kennebunkport shopping area. It is a bummer that the weather was a little dreary, but we got lucky and had a very mild Christmas this year, despite a lot of fog on Christmas Eve! The snow is on its way tomorrow- but luckily I am headed back to Charlotte today. :-)
Hope that all of you had a wonderful Christmas! And thank-you to everyone who left such wonderful comments on Thursday's post... (check it out if you haven't yet!)

Ah that's so cute! I've been loving ponchos and capes because they can take a simple t-shirt and jeans and elevate them to another level.

I've been meaning to snag a poncho for winter! I know it'll be getting chilly back in VA, so it's definitely time to stock up on some of the cozy essentials you're rocking!
ReplyDeleteYou are simply the cutest! I love this pattern mixing! I think a lot of people forget to pattern mix around this time of year

Love hearing that someone else has a go-to Target bag as well. I have a cross body bag from Target that I have had since I was 16 and I just can't part with it! I have yet to find a poncho that I seriously love, such a bummer!
ReplyDeleteAww how fun that your dad took these pictures!
ReplyDeleteLove the poncho! I've never worn one before but it looks so cozy I might have to try one for cold weather.
ReplyDeleteRediscoveries are always the best. I feel like when I rekindle a love for something I've had in a while it is really heart warming, sort of like reminiscing.
ReplyDeleteI love that purse, I can't believe it's from Target!
