everyone look at the beautiful poncho i just bought ds

[nappyaddict]

isn't it lovely

and it only cost £13.67 with shipping!!

I don't think I would have purchased for either of my two dd's but I think it is really lovely to see children in bright cheerful coloured clothes that are not fashion items trying to make them look like somethings they are not .

I used to wear poncho's when I was little - a long long time ago......

Ideal in the winters for keeping warm as they fit over a coat and great for batman wings.

Oh they're great for playing superheros

love it, NA. your boy can carry it off, no problem.

oooo, i'd like one of those for the DDs, too.

I think it's lovely. But I wouldn't dress a boy who was out of babydom in it. And I love bright colours on boys and dressed mine in them until he got old enough to stop me. But ponchos are for girls - sorry.

love it

ah i'm more of the opinion ponchos are ok up to about 4ish on boys.

You obviously haven't got my ds!

I think the problem is that people SHOULD be able to wear what they want and dress their children however they want. But they can't because they will get unwanted comments from strangers and from family and other children. And while a grown up can make the decision to ignore such comments, children can't. That's why I trimmed my ds's hair the minute he noticed that people sometimes mistook him for a girl. I didn't want to do it - it was beautiful. But I don't think that I had a right to impose my views on him, IYSWIM.

Yuk

fab
and a right bargain as well!

ds is only 2 so he isn't old enough to care about what he looks like yet.

I love it, also think it's a bargain

I like it. But omg, I'd never pay that much for one item of clothing.

My gran used to crochet things like that for me as a child and blankets.

My dh would divorce me if I tried to put something like that on ds.

are the shops by me unusally expensive to where you lot all shop. i routinely pay about £10 for things like jumpers.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well on the plus side you won't need relective patches if you take him out at night in that.

I don't think it's expensive either na...

fimbo - that's one of the joys of being a single mum

you would never spend 13 pound on one item of clothing? how on earth do you buy things like winter coats then? where are you doing your shopping? 1952?

na-i think 13 quid is reasobale. i once spent 56 pound on a coat for ds

mmj, 1952??? thank you for making me laugh!
