………The PONCHO is coming…..The PONCHO IS COMING, A259617……for my OCTOBER, 27th, 1:00PM show……..I love this Poncho and I think it will work for you no matter what your lifestyle…..Really… who can’t use a poncho, especially one that looks like this!……..The color above is……………..MULBERRY…………The yarn of this SWEATER PONCHO is the FAUX SHETLAND that so many of you have already received in the “Boyfriend V-neck pullover”. If you haven’t purchased the boyfriend sweater then let me tell you about the yarn. It is a very HIGH GRADE 80% acrylic yarn blended with 20% nylon. There are practically as many different qualities of acrylic as there are SNOW FLAKES……OK, I exaggerated a little but you get my “drift”. This is a GOOD QUALITY…. For me, this feels and looks exactly like my Shetland sweaters…only there is NO WOOL and this poncho is much SOFTER and LIGHTER….it really is weightless…..like COTTON CANDY!… The surface of the sweater also has the “fuzziness” of a Shetland….it’s supposed to look THIS WAY!…..The reviews are coming in on the Boyfriend Pullover, and so far they are all stellar. A few have already washed it and report back they they have had success, and no piling or mishaps at all…..What makes this Poncho different from the plethora of ponchos y0u will inevitably be bombarded with? The major difference is this one is YOUNG looking! So many of them look like old fashioned TEA COZIES…..Also, what separates this one from many others is this Poncho has……SLEEVES!…..RIBBED SLEEVES to match the RIBBED FUNNEL ROLL OVER NECK. Why sleeves…..because it is so much EASIER TO WEAR….to hold your shoulder bags…..to drive in….to LIVE IN….I love the sleeve full length, but I also love it rolled…once…twice….three and four times to create different looks and to show off the color of what you are wearing underneath….Play with them….it’s a fun aspect to this sweater poncho!….If you think the sleeves are too long….you’re not wearing it correctly….. The SWEATER PONCHO has 2×2 ribbed starts to match the collar and the sleeves. The funnel collar is wide enough, and dips down in the front enough to make it comfortable for layering….The sides of the poncho are completely open so you will need to layer another garment under it. Depending where you live and how you want to wear it you can chose anything from a cami to a WK TANK to a WK TURTLENECK to the new WING COLLAR , KATE or ROBYN COTTON SHIRTS. Layer it with what ever you want, and I’m sure you can come up with some fun combos….a lace “T” like my long sleeve lace top from last fall…..stripes or a pattern would be fun too……The basic length for the XS is 30 inches….long enough to wear with all of the new LINEA BODY LEGGINGS, or any legging you may own. The sizing is S,M,L, but frankly I think it easily could have been ONE SIZE fits all….or at least only 3 sizes, so if for some reason your size should sell out….don’t be afraid to size up or down..,…they will all work…..it’s a PONCHO!….The MULBERRY is a NEW COLOR for me. I know the question will surely come up….”what’s the difference between the Mulberry and the Mauve?” The Mulberry is deeper and more towards the purple side….more like a PURPLE QUARTZ color….you know…….like the wonder large mineral stone formations you see in specialty stores…..The Mauve is paler, softer and has more of a gray pink undertone….Remember, this faux Shetland yarn is HEATHERED so all the colors have a softness to them…..they are not solid saturated colors……This poncho does not only have to be worn super casual with jeans leggings and whatever else you consider to be casual…..It can also be worn more dressed up as shown above….with skirts of all lengths and even over my new WK DRESS……You can wear the Mulberyy with all of your basics, navy, walnut, dark gray, black etc…..but….I always like to play with unusual color combinations, and pass what I think is a really successful combination off to you. One such combination is the MULBERRY with the AUBERGINE, as shown above. I have the AUBERGINE WK TN, A72778 paired with the AUBERGINE WK Skirt, A237412, and will be showing it with the AUBERGINE OPAQUE LINEA TIGHTS. I have to say, as a designer, it is so much nicer to be able to show you the complete look and be able to offer it to you. It really does make everything so much more pulled together and…… SPECIAL………a “LOOK” right off the “RUNWAY”…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Louis, Louis, LOUIS !!! I’m SPEECHLESS !!!!
It’s smashing, my kind of look. However, living in the South and being on the warm side all the time, I must pass. Had it been a v-neck, they would have been mine!
LOVE!!!!!

LOVE! This is one to LIVE in! Also love it with the Aubergine!
Gorgeous!!! Love the necklace as well…will the necklace be available for purchase anytime soon?
No the necklace is vintage AK, something I did many moons ago. It looks simple but each station has beads set with pins, so I’m not sure if I could do it at a QVC price, but my plan is to show it to my new manufacturer and see what they think.
WOW! WOW! And WOW!
Loving the poncho! Will it be available for plus sizes?
Of course!
I’m in for all colors! It’s fabulous!
Louis, loving the poncho! Will it be available for the plus size women?
THUD! This is a knockout! I’m blown away…..
Just. So. Cool.
I have whine a bit about no black, grey, navy choices (I know, I’m a color-phobe) but having said that, I’m totally in for the green to start and probably others too.
Leave it to you to reinvent a classic giving it not only a fresh twist but respecting how we actually live.
