hmmmmm. I've just had a couple of ponchos jumpers from H&M here . But they are called jumpers so therefore are most definitely not ponchos. Nope. Nothing like them

fwiw I like the fat face one. The other one is far to reminiscent of something I might have worn as a child in the 70's. In fact, I'm sure there must be a photo of me somewhere wearing something equally hideous similar.

The second one is definitely drama teacher.... The first one not too bad. I think this kind of thing requires a try on and honest appraisal whether better in concept than execution.

Love your turn of phrase

Noooo. Just no. They never really work. Its just extra bulk. And once winter sets in, you cant exactly fling a coat on over one, can you? (unless you lie the hulk look Grin)

ponchos rock for bfeeding. i bought 2 ff ones - 1 for me one for & b mate who@s also bf. and i get compliments for a turqoise one i bought in nyc 5 yrs ago & never wore till bf.

ggirl · 24/10/2011 16:01

I feel I should be wearing a short sleeved knitted tunicy thing as they are frickin everywhere

ujjayi · 24/10/2011 16:14

I have a Monsoon cashmere blend poncho from about 8 years ago. It's a proper poncho as opposed to a very loose fit jumper (which is how I view the FF one). I love it but never seem to wear it other than over pjs on very cold evenings.........perhaps i need to revisit it for daywear?

Are you breathing well today Ujjayi
