DH got me: a poncho with one arm!

[Sleepysleepysleep]

It's honestly the most bizarre looking thing.

A poncho with one long arm sticking out!

And it's a black and white chevron pattern - with a big band of wierd waviness through the middle. Just.....odd.

He was so pleased bless him!

"I just thought it was so cool! One arm! You don't ever see that!"
And.....
"It'll be brilliant for breastfeeding when we visit my family next week"

Oh god he's put so much thought into it! He's so sweet. I looked at his little face and I hadn't the heart....I told him it was amazing and the coolest thing I had ever seen.

And it's super heavy wool and feels frighteningly expensive. Oh god, I think he spent a bomb on a one armed black and white poncho!

I'm going to have to wear it for the rest of my life, aren't I?

I really like it!

Such a shame ponchos don't suit me!

Love it!

pinkblink that's what I got dh
Eeeeeeek

It's... interesting

I have a feeling that your husband has made loads of Mumsnet accounts this morning...

This is hilarious . I actually like ponchos .. reminds me of the 1970s (showing my age lol) but I look like Clint Eastwood in them .. going off to whistle " The Good the Bad and the ugly " now
Happy Christmas everyone

That's lovely OP. Bless him. Least he tried. My Ex only remembered to buy his partner of 5 years a Christmas gift because the gift I had bought her from the DCs reminded him! 😂

Oh and the family member I bought pissing earings for has bought me a basics wilkos cutlery set.

I quite like it to, and I'd love to look like a school art teacher!
But if you don't like it I do think you need to tell him and get him to take it back. If you can't be honest with your own partner who can you be honest with ?

Oh I can't! He loves it! Saying how I'll look so cool with my black knee high flat boots.

I weakly protested it must have been expensive and got all "you're worth it" etc etc.

No way can I tell him!

It's lovely, and I want one :) Your husband has great taste!

I really like it too, might buy it once my bank account recovers from Christmas

I'll offer the same advice I have to the OP who received her MIL's ola pony zebra boots as a gift this morning: red wine, large glass, very unfortunate, it'll have to be dry cleaned and will never be seen the same again. Such a shame!

It's definitely not breastfeeding practical though! Too much material to pull up and you'll smother the baby if it goes underneath, especially if it's that warm.

As a fellow plumpy I actually like it. Covers up any bits you might not like as well. and the fact he thought it would be handy for b/f is so lovely, bless him.

Black and white? You could SO pimp that look with a black tube skirt and flat black boots... with a bit of your fav lip colour. You will look delish!!! DELISH!!

They are all the rage.

Wear it.

I like it. And your husband sounds so lovely

Oh god guys, I dunno.....

I've just google it -it's lovely!. Needs trousers or a short straight skirt or you'll look like a statue. I would definitely wear that.

Hehe

Do you look like a one armed bandit

Is your DH Clint Eastwood, OP?

You are SO not a size 16

You can definitely get away with the poncho.

I really like it.

It's gorgeous

I think it looks great

This reminds me of a mad great aunt who lived in the USA for years and used to buy every single family member a genuine Mexican poncho every Christmas. My DM has about 30 of them. RIP Great auntie Jean
