Ponchos and Capes

So I tried wearing a poncho before and I liked it but....I decided ponchos weren't for me.  Well, after seeing this one above on Olivia Palermo (and others), I thought I'd give it another shot.  As far as the cape trend, I do really love it, and of course seeing Kerry and Solange in their versions inspired me to try it in a way that was comfortable and wearable for my everyday life. (Side note, I loved the cape outfit I wore!) See pics below.

This is part 3..........

(Sorry for the quality...these were taken on a cellphone and for some reason, I just could not get them to be as clear an enlarging them to the size of the other pics just made it worse....)

Collection: Olive/Khaki/Hunter/Forest Green -Part I

So every year,when the seasons change, I pick a color that I want to wear more of. (Which is how my closet got to be so colorful!) This past year, it was olive/khaki/hunter/forest green-they come up with so many different names for it.  I have seen it pop up on a lot of celebrities, blogs, and clothing stores, and honestly, it just looks soooo good!  I've come across many looks from the past years that influenced me, so I will feature those, plus several of the ways I've worn this color.  So I won't overload this blog with pictures, I'm breaking this into 3 posts and showing the looks that influenced each outfit on that particular blog. (You'll see that one of the looks on today's feature was inspired by a look I wore two years ago.) Hope you like what you see...
