When: January 4, 2012

If a year ago you would have told me that I would one day wear a poncho, I would’ve poncho-ed you in the face. Heck, if you would have told me two weeks ago, you would’ve gotten the same reaction. The poncho/cape look has been everywhere- from high end collections, to the runways, to the blogs of the everyday fashionista. But to be honest, it’s not my favorite trend. Helloo, it’s a poncho; what’s fashionable about that? But I was curious. Apparently curious enough to buy a poncho (at an excellent price of course). And you want to know a secret, I don’t hate it.  So now I own a poncho and any sense of style cred I had on the blogger streets has flown out the window.
