Finding the perfect poncho

accreditation
Ever since my first trip to New York back in 2012, I have been obsessing with ponchos. One morning, while walking on the famed streets, surrounded by never-ending skyscrapers, I saw a woman in brown Chelsea boots, faded blue skinny jeans and an Aztec poncho.

From that morning it became a mission of mine to find the perfect poncho. Recently, while devouring the Zara sale – I finally found it. While it may be three sizes too large for me, I couldn’t get over the colour and the fabric. Plus, I actually prefer larger sizes as they often make for more interesting silhouettes.

If you’ve already done the math, you will know that it took me about three years to find this piece of woolen gloriousness. Patience was key.

What I wore:

- Zara poncho
- Topshop shirt
- Topshop ripped jeans
- Country Road boots
