When it’s super cold outside, I typically reach for faux fur or a blanket-style poncho like this one by Ralph Lauren. I bought the same poncho in brown back in the fall (shown here) and absolutely love it. Part of me wished then that I had also purchased it in black. My wish came true a few weeks ago when I happened to spot this on a winter clearance rack while browsing in a Lauren outlet store in Florida. I got to take this gem home for 70% off! It’s always a good idea to check the sale racks when you’re visiting stores in different climates because you may find something for a great deal that would otherwise sell quickly back home. Most people living in Florida don’t have much need for a wool poncho, but for those of us living further North, it’s a winter piece that keeps you feeling toasty and looking stylish.
