I had been toying. I thought it would make me titty.
I espied a jigsaw one and tried on ready to HATE but its actually quite nice and good for whizzing to my overheated office..

i liked the dropped shoulder thing too

Wearing a poncho adds about 3 stone instantly.

And by the time summer comes round you really will weigh about 3 stone more!
Those things expand with you.
Bad idea. Almost as bad as stretchy leggings.

(I know these things. I'm a size 16 and I look good in most things, but in a poncho I look like a bag of shat)

ah Brenda Brenda Brenda!! I am on edge waiting for the result. Tis as bad as the interminable pause before they announce X factor winners. On edge.

I tried on the poncho and it did look nice but I just knew I would never wear it. Then I spotted the coat and the poncho was dropped like a hot potato! Farewell poncho world.

flyrobynfly43 · 16/10/2015 09:44

73dexter, that coat looks great!

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 16/10/2015 14:48

Tried on the JL one, looks lovely but entirely impractical.

I couldn't move my arms properly and the neck doesn't sit right.

It would be very good for wafting about doing absolutely nothing inConfused

BrendaandEddie · 16/10/2015 16:16

Did you try jugsaw?

OP posts:
Doyouthinktheysaurus · 16/10/2015 16:47

No, it was the promise of cashmere that sucked me in.

Did feel lovely but I'm less of an elegant, wafty type and more of a puffy coat and sensible boots type!

BrendaandEddie · 16/10/2015 16:56

i am going to GO AND #ponchoff

Lol at 'jugsaw'

Jigsaw diffusion line for the big titted?

73dexter · 16/10/2015 19:48

It's been 3 hours - Brenda must have died in a poncho related disaster Sad

vindscreenviper · 16/10/2015 20:16

Caught her death of cold or shot her big toe off?

lurkingabit · 16/10/2015 20:54

Brenda prob got caught in a game of poker in a saloon. Was cheatin'. Got caught. Big saloon brawl. Saloon trashed. Guns drawn. Pfft.

AnemonesCloser · 16/10/2015 20:59

Ponchos are back?

This can't be allowed.

I'm contacting Amnesty International.

vindscreenviper · 16/10/2015 21:24

Come on brenda, make an entrance through those saloon doors

i bought a bloody poncho

BrendaandEddie · 17/10/2015 08:37

I'm laughing in a Hungover way. I had to go out. I didn't realise the time.

BrendaandEddie · 17/10/2015 11:10

Right, now I am really torn, I can't decide between the two! The cashmere one is softer and already feels warmer, but it's a hell of a lot of money for basically a black blanket with a hole in the middle

OP posts:
BrendaandEddie · 17/10/2015 11:11

I like the neckline of the jigsaw , one of the reviews on John Lewis says this year's version is better because the ribbing at the bottom and it doesn't count up! So many innuendos in that post
But the jl cashmere is nice.

I'll ask the boys. They'll hate both
