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
