outfit post: the Folk-singer Poncho
Finally! A REAL Autumnal day in Northern California. I actually had to wear a sweater to go outside, and that meant I pulled out my sweater poncho. It was a thrift store score from Thrift Town last summer; a fashion find in the Del Paso Heights location, when the weather was a scorcher and nobody but me was shopping the outerwear department.
This little number SINGS to me of the folk era, circa late 60's/early '70's. Affectedly folksy, with the high turtle-neck collar, and black knit body sporting a yarn embroidered floral motif and multi-colored yarn fringe along the squared hem. I felt VERY folk-singer in it. The Band's Long Black Veil kept going playing my head as me & my honey ran errands during the early afternoon.
Now Wearing:
- Thrifted vintage black-knit fringed poncho
- D.I.Y. black sweater cuff with buttons
- Gifted red felted wool cuff w/ zebra stripe, tactile Quality on Etsy
- Target, jeggings
- Target, black leather skimmers
- Thrifted vintage needle point/leather hand-bag

Thank you, NORA! What is TDY, by the way?
magnificent poncho! aother piece that is on my wish list... <3
I've been so giddy for fall fashion that I may have been guilty for jumping the gun on chunky sweaters and leather jackets. I sweat my way through it, heavy with regret. Sometimes my vision is just incompatible with mother nature.... Also that needlepoint purse is awesome.
love your poncho and bag!!

That poncho is so cute on you. I love it over the skinny jeans with the "matching" bag. Really chic for a crisp Northern Cali kind of day! Wish I had that poncho in my wardrobe (except i can't wear wool it gives me a rash...sigh.)
