As far as wearing a poncho goes I think Clint Eastwood is about as badass as it gets.
I was channeling my best Eastwood here.
Just imagine that Clint is wearing over-the-knee boots and I have a stubby cigar and a beard.
Nailed it!
I haven’t quite mastered the whole fling-it-over-my-shoulder-to-show-off-my-gun move that he has.
I am however, quite skilled at his famous, “Get off my damn lawn!” scowl.
Just ask my husband.
I managed to capture these photos before the rain and winds came along and blew all the leaves off the trees. It’s a shameful naked forest our there now.
Yes, if you look closely those are dead leaves hanging off my poncho. I’m starting a new trend called, “I squatted in the woods with squirrels”. You saw it here first.
Remember that when Lady Gaga shows up covered in dead leaves and squirrel poop next week.
A bit more inspiration for poncho and over the knee boots…
Are you keen on ponchos and over the knee boots? Or is it all a bit too “musketeer” for you?
Linking up with Throw Back Thursday
No not too musketeer at all! I lurve it, even without the cigar. You look like Fall embodied in a beautiful woman! xox

Clint’s wardrobe person sure knew how to dress him for that movie!
Your cape/poncho looks beautiful on you. I’ve seen so many this year that I’d love to have hanging in my closet! Autumn clothing totally hits my pocketbook.
You are right…the guy had some serious style in this film. Shame that now all we see him wearing seems to be pants that are as high as his nipples. I think they call them nipple grazers.
You are the essence of autumnal splendor, with your fabulous style and glorious photography!
Autumnal perfection! I love this outfit on you and who doesn’t love Clint’s cowboy style? Not a hint of musketeer here but I bet you’d totally rock a lace shirt and velvet pantaloons! xxx
Oh yes, all for one and one for all in the high boots and poncho department. And who doesn’t love a good Clint look? Excellent photos! This look was made for you. But you’ll have to start a League Against Naked Trees. Shameful, yes. haha. You have made my day – scowl, chomp and spit.
You certainly did nail it! Love this on you, your legs look so long x
You always wear those earthy shades with blue just beautifully, Suzanne. It’s a great look on you, leaves and squirrel poop and all! xxx
Ha! I don’t care what you wear — you’ll never look like an angry old man. That’s my territory…
Hardly!
Such pretty photos. I love the autumn woods and the poncho and jeans look. It’s always fun to find out where inspiration comes from. The thought of you with a cigar really completes the picture. But Suzanne, I have to be honest, at first I didn’t notice that you were wearing a tan tank under your shirt and I thought you were flashing us a healthy bit o’ cleavage. Of course that would be fine if you had decided to do that. I’m sure Clint would approve.
Ha ha! It is actually a cashmere sweater I’m wearing under the chambray shirt. That would have been more than an eyeful of boobage.
you look great. I love your inspiration. haha. =) Clint would be proud

I love over the knee boots, but I’m not sure where I would go to find any tall enough? This whole look is gorgeous on you, especially the poncho. Here’s my silly question – does it get in the way? I feel like I’d be fighting with it all day long!
I’ve seen lots that are almost to my crotch now…those must go past your knees!
Forgot to mention…it can be a bit of a pain. If you try to wear your handbag over your shoulder it slips off. Also you can catch things as you’re walking by. It’s not for days when you want to do things quickly. This is for when you want to take your time and walk slowly. Don’t know what day that is! Ha ha.
I now can’t get the image out of my head of you with a stubby cigar and beard. Please shave!
Love the whole look of this from top to toe. The colour of the poncho is just beautiful.
I shall now aspire to have a trail of leaves hanging from my clothes at all times now.
Trendsetter you!

Great look! It looks like the poncho and the OTK boots are what you are meant to wear while going on a beautiful fall walk… 🙂
I saw your answer to the question regarding the practicality of ponchos above. I love to wear mine for our evening walks (love that I actually look nice; I used to just throw on “whatever”). But I have found I end up “fighting” with it when I wear it while running a bunch of errands, etc.
Beautiful look Suzanne and sorry but no resemblance to Clint’s look at all. You are way more stylish!

Hope to see your Thursday for TBT Fashion link up.
Love the gorgeous shawl and the way you styled in with the double downed denim. I am looking for the scowl but I see no traces of it. Perhaps I am wearing it. Yes, that is it. Scowling and laughing my tiny tush off. Squatting in the woods indeed, you look sort of Town and Country here, even in the bare forest, which is lush at your feet with the fallen leaves.

Both you and Eastwood sure know how to rock the poncho and look cool while doing so. I’ve probably seen way too many old Eastwood westerns considering the fact that I was born in the 90s. I like his tough guy characters, though if they were real I’d stay far out of bullet range. The boots and the leafy setting for your photos are awesome, too!
Ponchos? No. Over the knee boots? Yes. Having said that though, you look great in your pairing! Much, much better than Clint.
You’re totally badass. Especially the leaves. I’m totally envious of the boots. I have got it in my head to get a long pair. High pair? I have to buy things when it is least logical (for us antipodeans that is) so sitting around in forty degree (centigrade) sweat pools trying to choose a pair of boots from the prevailing northern hemisphere fashions is proving difficult. Thank god for icons such as you and Clint!
ha ha, what a funny post. You made me smile 😉
I love your look. The mix of textures is really great.
Kisses from Poland!
In my head I can hear the Ennio Morricone soundtrack playing as I look at your photos. I really enjoy the films with Clint Eastwood as the “man with no name” in his badass poncho, cigar and trademark squint (Clint’s squint!). I think you should have bought one of those small cigarellos and put one between your teeth for this shoot 😉
I think Clint would say “you are one badass wearing poncho woman”. Those over the knee boots are fantastic on you, love the heels (are they comfy?). I do agree that at times wearing poncho’s may not be the most convenient but they sure are cozy and stylish. Beautiful photo’s!
OMG SUSAN WHAT A DELIGHTFUL FALL LOOK. The layers work beautifully. That cape and your boots are to die for – I want them. Cute hat too. Love the inspiration photos too. I am doing a Flashback post today and one of the outfits features some OTK Boots.
Have a great weekend! <3 Ada.
I love this look and would not mind wearing this myself at all!
As a matter of fact I have been looking into over the knee boots and ponchos, the last week.
But I have even more been drooling over fluffy, furry (faux fur of course) things in off-white and pastels…. So not sure what I end up buying….we’ll see.
Yes you did NAIL IT!! I just bought my first pair of OTK boots so keep those ideas comin’ so I can copy them for my blog! 😉
I love the Lady Gaga – squirrel poop comment! You crack me up!

This is a fantastic autumnal outfit!
I should show the post to my husband! He is a Clint Eastwoods’ fan! You had a very nice idea! Ponchos are comfortable in autumn, I also wear them on jackets
Here I am. Again catching up a whole week. Annoying isn’t it? Getting all these comments on “old” posts. Well, you don’t reply to them all, so I will stop worrying whether I annoy you.
As for this outfit: beautiful. And so are the pictures. Robert did good. Or did you take your tripod with you?
Especially the last picture is great. Not in the last place beause of the leaves hanging from your poncho and the hint of squirrel.

I took the photos myself. I find it is easier than getting Robert to do it. When he takes my photos I always seem to have an annoyed look on my face. I’m not going to read into that : P
It is true sometimes I don’t get to all my comments. I see I forgot to get to all of these entirely. Not because I don’t read them mind you…I just get behind.
No worries darling. I won’t stop loving you.
Those boots are completely delicious! And I totally forgot about Clint’s insane poncho rocking skills. He is the undisputed champion.
