New life for an old item

      Every time when I open my closet I see this poncho lying on the shelf right in front of my eyes... The truth is I like it very much, but I just don't know how and when to wear it. It is very warm and bulky to put underneath a coat. And, at the same time, it is not warm enough to survive in when it is windy and cold outside. And in our region, wind is not something uncommon. This poncho is also too loose.

     Finally, on Sunday I decided to go through my closet shelves and make some decisions about items I need to get rid of. Of course, this poncho was the first I saw in my closet. I took it in my hands..., it felt so soft and pleasant. I like the quality and a white/black combination. What can I do to make it work?

     I put on my cashmere turtleneck with a long sleeved shirt underneath, put the poncho on top and tried to tie it with a belt. I liked this idea - I solved all my issues with this garment. It felt very warm, not loose and pretty trendy, thanks to the belt.

     We went to Philadelphia that night and I wanted to give it a try. I wasn't sure if my outfit was going to be warm enough to walk on the city streets. I am glad to report that it was!

    Tatiana, I agree with the other comments. THis outfit is adorable. I am glad it was warm enough, because I agree that ponchos can let in too much cold air. The belt is a good fix.

    This is so chic and stylish Tatiana! I love the red accents with the black and white poncho as well. The belt was a great idea! Your boots are beautiful and I love the shape of your bag. Perfect red lip shade on you too! It is nice to be able to save an item in our closet .
