Personal Style | Fringe It

Beauties,

I was so tempted to wear black this week, but I encouraged myself to set the black aside for at least a day. Don't laugh at me. Today's look includes two things I love: boots and fringe. Both are staples this season and the best part is I purchased this fringe poncho/scarf for only $10 from BohoBlu Curvy. You all already know I'm a huge fan of bargain shopping, but I also love shopping with a purpose. I was intrigued when I saw that my local BohoBlu Curvy encouraged their customers to donate gently used clothing on Black Friday in exchange for up to three 50% off coupons to be used in their store.

One of the easiest ways I feel you can give back to your local community is by donating clothing and household items. So when I saw that BohoBlu Curvy was accepting donations, I knew I immediately wanted to take part. On Black Friday, I took three gently used clothing pieces to their store. I opted to donate one of my 50% off coupons to another customer and only use two of the coupons I was given. I used both of my coupons to purchase this poncho/scarf in taupe and black.

I could not get over how fly this piece is and the great price. I love the fringe and openings in the front. You may be just as shocked as me to learn it's actually a scarf, but I love the versatility of it. I opted to wear it with an olive green henley, jeggings and these Lane Bryant over the knee boots. This look was comfortable and can easily be worn so many places. I can't wait to wear the black one soon!

Style Notes: Although these boots are made to go over the knee, due to my wide calves, they aren't able to go far above my knee. If you have a calf over 21 inches in circumference, you may still be able to wear the boots, just more slouched like in the image.
