My love for the show Ugly Betty is a bit ridiculous, I will admit. But I am a sucker for the underdog making it out on top, not to mention the fact that it was in the fashion industry. Before Betty became all fabulously well-dress, her most beloved article of clothing was her Mexican poncho. Sure, the was hideous in so many ways, but the concept, the idea of the look was right on point for me. I love a good poncho. I love a poncho in the spring, summer, fall and winter. There’s never a wrong time for a poncho. Take Burberry for instance, they came out with a beautiful monogrammed poncho for their Fall/Winter 2014 collection.
