Happy Friday, darlings! It is absolutely freezing in Chicagoland which means I’m fully geared towards sweater weather! But, truth to be told, I don’t want to live in sweaters and jackets all winter long! Hence I found some other ways to keep myself warm. We all know that jackets, sweaters, hoodies, etc. are the most common way to stay warm, next to layering, of course (!) but have you ever thought about ponchos?! They are fantastic and a much trendier alternative! I prefer my poncho big, as in “go big or go home”. Seriously, overwhelmingly over-sized ponchos are everything this winter!

PS: I’m completely make-up free today except for the red lipstick! Yet I wasn’t sure whether or not I should post a make-up free look on the blog. I feel very much vulnerable but at the end of the day I thought: Who cares?! This is me – like it or not. So, dear readers…You’re finally getting a glimpse of me, Vanessa, the girl who loves fashion OH SO much!

As always, thanks so much for reading and have a fabulous weekend!

See you back here on Monday!

shopthepost12PONCHO: Bought in Rome almost 8 years ago! (N/A, VERY similar here at F21 and it’s ON SALE!) | PANTS: Boohoo c/o (sold out, similar here) | BOOTS: Sears (loving these here as well) | HAT: Boohoo c/o (similar here) | HANDBAG: CHANEL

    I can’t believe you’ve had that for 8 years, it looks new! I love that poncho and the fun fringe. That hat is perfect too!

    I love your blog – even more now since you’ve posted a make-up free look! I admire you! Finally a girl who’s down to earth and not just a dolled up version of herself (like most bloggers). I’ve been following you for a while now and I can’t to wait see more exciting posts! Keep up the good work! xo

    For going makeup less, you look great V!!
    And I agree, sweaters and jackets make for a very long winter…great call on the poncho!
    I ought to get me one..
    I saw a girl wrap herself in a blanket yesterday, just walking around in a damn blanket yet somehow I found that to also be a genius idea.

    Love this look, and let me tell you: Men do prefer women who don’t wear/need make-up! You’re gorgeous without it!

    You look absolutely amazing sans makeup. I wish I looked that good. You look flawless. What is your skincare routine? Maybe you could do a post on that if you haven’t already.

    Love the poncho but I feel challenged with carrying a purse. I prefer a shoulder bag.

    I’d be happy if there was any snow… but there is none.
    You look really good without make up and maybe I should do it too. No make up just me, I’m curious what my readers think about it 😉

    XOXO Tine
