It’s that time of year where the temperatures start to drop off in the evenings in northern Michigan. With that in mind, it’s time to start talking about transitional looks that will take us from late summer to early fall. 🍁👜🍂

One of the easiest ways to transition is to simply take your summer outfit and throw a shawl or poncho over your shoulders. I love ponchos and ruanas because they feel like you are wrapping yourself up in a warm fuzzy blanket…and yet you look stylish at the same time.

Here, I have taken this vibrant pink camisole from Bella Style Boutique and paired it with winter white trousers and a brightly colored handbag. And then I have simply draped loosely over my shoulders a neutral poncho to keep me warm in the evening.

But my friend Judy says she is DONE wearing ponchos because she wore one poncho too many back in the 1970s! 😆😆😆 What do you think about ponchos and ruanas?!
