:eek: Please tell me there was a gift receipt in the box.

They put it in a bag, so I will have to fish at the bottom of the bag. If not... :eek: :o

She's really trying hard to win you over, huh ST?

As a knitter I have been making and wearing cute high-end ponchos for a while. Yes, [gasp], I do wear them with my Uggs. For those who are not from SoCal, we've been wearing ponchos and Uggs for years. It's something that took a while to make it across the country, but if you don't like it, don't wear them.

There really isn't anything nicer than a well made poncho. I don't mean the kind you are seeing in the stores, I mean the kind that sell for a few hundred or a few thousand dollars at the little trendy shops throughout LA. They are warm and cozy and cute when tailored to you.

CTFU. CTFU. CTFU. Since I got my Chanel shoes, I'm being a good sport about this.
:p

What LD said. I love my ponchos and I love my Uggs!

No poncho, but I love my Uggs. I only wear them with my jeans though. I always wore my Reef flip flops, but it's getting cold, and the Uggs are so freaking comfortable.

I can't stand either ponchos or uggs... and the thought of them together makes me :eek:

I just have a mental picture of someone herding goats in the mountains

I'm ordering a new poncho right now.

No seriously, I love them. They're like blankets you can take with you.

I don't mind UGGS when they're worn as protection from cold weather. It annoys me to no end, however, when I see little girls wearing them with mini-skirts. Don't their feet get hot, sweaty, and STANKY?! :confused:

Uggs makes plain old shoes too and they are super comfy.So please don't judge the whole brand by those hideous fuzzy boots.

Also the last time I wore a poncho was about 1973 and if I remember correctly it was orange and brown or some equally awful 70's color combination.I don't think I could bring myself to wear them again.

UGGs were not designed just for cold weather. They were actually originally designed for surfers. People in SoCal have long worn them with skirts, pants and skiwear. It's a cultural thing down here. I've had them since high school (that's a LONG time for those who don't want to do the math).

There is a big difference b/w the ponchos worn in the 70s and those that I wear today. First, the yarns that are being imported from France are immeasurably better. Second, they come in way cooler colors. Finally, they are a great way to keep warm when you go out to the movies, to a sporting event or for a walk on the beach. You can throw them over just about anything and have them look cute. My bestfriend made a ribbon ponch to match a bridesmaid's dress she had to wear recently. It was gorgeous!

Man, I hope so! I saw someone wearing some furry pink uggs today and I was like "How Come?" I was thinking the abominable snowman got a bad dye job!


Laura, I did NOT know that UGGs were orginally made for surfers. Cool :) But NOT the furry boots!

I have to admit I am not feeling the ponchos. Reminds me of the scary crocheted ones I had back in the day that friends of my mom's made me

I would love to relearn to crochet and knit though

I crochet, and I've been wearing the ponchos I've made for several years now. People always either made fun of me or raved over them, but I was the only one until this...this...trend came along. Now all the people who laughed at me are sporting them, but the worst thing is, when ponchos inevitably become "like totally so 5 minutes ago," I'm going to look ridiculous wearing mine. :rolleyes:

OK Tri-Deltas...I know you are totally jealous of the stylin' Pi Phi poncho...so here is a little something with a dolphin motif for you.

Back view too!
