Ariana, thank you.

Berkeley Girl, Ooh Blush would be lovely.

Isabel, thank you. I really like it. It's been a fab addition to my winter wardrobe. So soft I could sleep in it lol

Well, Anthro's very light blush poncho was all out in petite sizes, but I've ordered the regular small, so we'll see. A piece like that may just be too voluminous for me in a regular cut (I'm 5'2" and have a small frame). But fingers crossed. It was lovely in the photo but I'm not finding it on their site at all now, and it was incredibly marked down, so it must have sold completely out. I'm guessing I only got that small because they had a return.

Both the poncho and scarf look- and sound- perfect for you. I think everyone needs a cashmere poncho!

Agreed, Susie! A cashmere poncho should be a wardrobe essential! And I'm thinking how great it would be for an airplane travel outfit...

Hi Berkeley Girl, I am 5ft2 and small build too:) Fingers crossed for the poncho.

Deborah, I never in a million years would have guessed from your photos that you're 5'2"! I think your look (The Cat described it as "relaxed elegance," which seems spot-on) somehow just suggests a taller person. As a fellow petite, I'm impressed. Maybe I should be re-thinking what I could potentially pull off...

I've added a poncho to my fall wish list for sure. The Anthro one is en route and I'm hopeful... but if it doesn't fit well, I've seen a cream poncho at a local boutique, and a taupe version in the Sundance catalog, so there are options.

The poncho is sold out so it's not on Anthro's website anymore, but I was able to pull a photo from the email confirming my order.

Berkeley Girl that is lovely! The soft tone is beautiful. I really hope it works for you. I feel that petites can wear pretty much anything as long as we get our proportions right. xxx

Isn't it so pretty, Deborah? And, if it fits well, it will be a great addition to my wardrobe, since blush has become one of my key colors (I wrote about my recent style reboot here - https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-nas-finds, and here - https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....in-outfits )
and I'm picturing it especially over white jeans and also a pair of taupe velveteen jeans from The Wrap that I have my eye on this season.

I agree, l proportions are everything, and that goes double for us petites. You do proportions so beautifully!

While I was looking for the poncho I came across these lovely kimono sweaters, but they're both, ha, "one-size-fits-all" which is just such a lie, and a lazy way out of making actual sizes. Even so, there may be a way to proportion these so that they work on a smaller body...

Deborah,you look delightful!!!! I'm just loving your poncho,very stylish and chic,XXX
