This season’s trends have hit me hard. Some years, I can pass on the majority of ‘fads’ (no thanks, sneaker heels…and let’s have a hard pass on the normcore trend) but I am loving everything fall has to offer this year. Lately, Free People has been my fix. Their warm weather layers of fuzzy sweaters and plaid glory have got me hooked.

I popped into the Free People location in Bethesda (if you haven’t been, please do yourself a favor and GET THERE - their styling team is so good it’s ridiculous) looking for something fun (and warm) for fall. I walked out with this to-die-for poncho that I haven’t stopped wearing since. It’s primarily black, so it basically goes with everything I own, but also has the prettiest mix of grey, oxblood and tan to blend all my favorite neutrals for this season. And while it’s perfect for fall, I can throw on a turtle neck underneath when the weather gets colder to keep the poncho happy feels going all winter long. Oh and this poncho? It’s only $48!

I wore this while visiting one of my favorite wineries in the area, Stone Tower Winery. It has such a gorgeous setting and the wine is TO. DIE. FOR. It was a bit windy, which isn’t entirely ideal for photos, but it gives you an opportunity to see this adorable bralette that has also been on repeat in my wardrobe. It’s so much prettier than my go-to tee-shirt bras (AMIRIGHT ladies?!)

Muchos gracias to the babes at the Bethesda Free People for sending me home with these goodies to share with you! Their store is located at 7101 Democracy Blvd. in Bethesda, MD.
