Ponchos are Back and Better Than Ever

 Woah! It has been a hot minute since I've had a blog post for you lovely people! On the bright side, I have been writing for the school newspaper (The Bryan Triangle) and I really love it. My articles are similar to my blog posts but not exactly. I like both things equally so I won't be going anywhere. Hopefully my newspaper writing will help make my blog posts better. Back to this great outfit. 

   Most of the time ponchos are meant to protect us from rain or mist but not this one. This one was designed to be worn in the midst of fall weather and to catch the attention of everyone not wearing one. This poncho is extremely warm and will be great for crisp fall days. Plus, nothing says fall quite like an over-sized poncho to wrap up in. 
   I just had to pair this with a great pink tank top and some nice, ripped boyfriend jeans. (The black boots are just a bonus.) This shirt has a raw edge detail around the neckline and it would be perfect in summer as well as fall. I worn the shirt tucked because it's a bit long and untucked made the outfit feel heavier. The boyfriend jeans are high-waisted so they create some definition. The rips make the outfit feel more relaxed while still being put together. 

Fashion can be complicated and sometimes confusing but it should be fun too. Nothing works wonders for your mood like feeling good about your clothes. It's amazing the impact clothes can have on our lives and our attitudes. 
Hebrews 10:35-36 says this "Cast not away your confidence, which has great recompense of reward. For you have need of patience, that, after you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise." This verse tells us to have confidence in our abilities; whether that be in fashion, our testimony, or anything else. We are to present ourselves with confidence knowing we might receive the promises of God. I hope this helps and encourages you all for the week. If you don't read my articles on The Triangle, you're welcome to start and maybe it will encourage you to pursue what you love.
