What I Wore: Mom Style
Poncho: Ann Taylor | Tee: J. Crew Factory (similar) | Jeans: Gap | Boots: c/o DUO Boots | Bag: c/o Fossil (similar) | Bracelet: CC Skye (similar)
It's starting to feel like fall, so I HAD to whip out this poncho from Ann Taylor and my tall boots! While I'll miss summer, I do enjoy fall fashion and it's been great to sleep with the windows open and add an extra quilt to the bed!
This poncho was a splurge, but as I said in this post, it's a classic that will look great for many years. I knew I'd wear it in a casual manner like this for errands and weekend “Mom Style,” but also think it would look elegant in the office over blouses and trousers. I was excited to see these boots match this bag from Fossil; I haven't featured it on the blog since this post but am really feeling brown leather this season.ย The bag is big enough to carry everything I need for a weekend on the go!

I saw this post a few weeks ago and was sad to see the poncho was sold out online and not showing on the canadian site. I kept thinking about it and just remembered I received and email for 30% off in stores this weekend. I called just before close and my store has both colours in stock!
thanks for the tip. I am so excited to pick up this beauty tomorrow.
I love this! I am a mom of 2 boys. While I love the capsule wardrobe I feel like I can’t repurpose my work clothes when I am in “mom mode”. Despite what bloggers show, stilettos and skinny jeans make me look like a hooker.
I love this look. Now, PLEASE tell me how you keep your jeans from bunching up in the boots. I always gets a fluffy knee look which isn’t hot.
I tuck them into my socks! However I have considered getting these: http://smile.amazon.com/Hollywood-Straps-Fashion-Smooth-Tucked-/dp/B004LS4QPM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1411341759&sr=8-2&keywords=strap+boot+jeans
Mmm… brown leather… I’m loving your look, but I like the cognac leather I’ve been seeing around even more. Then again, possibly black is more flattering and versatile for me…
Looking good girl!!! Such a perfect fall look ๐

Thanks Juliet!
Finally found some brown knee boots that fit my wide calves at Catherine’s just last week. Have been searching for 2 years. I grabbed them up! Now thanks to your post, I can put together a great outfit! By the way, what does mom style look like? I don’t want to look like I did in my 20’s, but I really don’t want to look like I am 90 either. I just want to look stylish and neat while being comfortable and confident. If that is mom style, I am in!
Congrats on the boot success! And so true, mom style is what you want it to be! ๐
I absolutely love this entire outfit and especially adore that bag!
Thanks Aimee!
I love everything. I didn’t even know I wanted a poncho. Turns out I do.
Aww thanks Jennifer!
I’m 23 and want this whole outfit! I don’t think it’s mom style!
Good point Erin, I think I titled it because it was so easy and make running around town with Emerson a breeze. But this is a look for any woman!
The outfit is grrrrreat!!! And your bag … hmmm! In one word: DELICIOUS!!

Thanks Didi!
It’s helpful to see how that poncho fits on your height, thanks!
My pleasure, that’s a big reason why I chose to feature it now, while it’s still in stock. hard to gauge on the model!
Something like the poncho would be nice for a trip where you might want something heavier than a pashima.
Agreed!
Nothing Mom style about this – you look chic and polished. I love my poncho too – too funny we wore it the EXACT same combo – striped shirt brown boots. Too funny. I have been a fan of your blog too long – copy your style without even knowing it!
Too funny!
