I just bought a really cute silky poncho and I like it alot. I don't really care for the big woolly ones though.

I agree in that situation that rainboots are stupid...BUT

I work in a part of Newark that was filled in wetlands, meaning it floods because we are at sealevel. Probably below it. My entire hometown (not newark) is practically at sea level.

That being said, the $20 that I spent on galoshes has been the best investment this season. Now I don't ruin my shoes or get wet feet.

ETA: UH-OH, SOME ONE BROKE OUT THE RITUAL TRIDELTA PONCHO!!
where is that cat-suit thread...one of my favs...
oh yeah, THAT LADY IS SCARY!!

Oh man, that dolphin poncho sure is snazzy. Almost makes me wish I was a Tri Delt. Do they by any chance have anything with stars or lambs?

And only $200!!! What a bargain. So much more versatile than those silly $100-some pajamas that spammer advertised on that other thread!

this is true...

Didn't ponchos try to make a comeback about 4 years ago, and didn't really get popular?

I got one the other day for my birthday, but I haven't worn it yet. As for Uggs, I like the plain ones. I spent last winter in Columbus, OH, and it was SO COLD! They kept my feet nice and warm. I don't like the multi-colored ones or the super fuzzy ones. I don't like them with mini skirts either. I hate the "Raising Helen" movie poster with Kate Hudson wearing uggs with some pretty short shorts.

I don't remember ponchos, but I vaguely remember capelets. I almost bought a vintage one during the time..but again, I thought better of it.

A thank you goes out to Jessica Simpson for wearing her tan poncho throughout the first season of Newlyweds...we can blame her for the newest trend. Well, maybe not her completely, but I bet she helped tons!

I have one but I've never worn it out. I dont think I ever will. At least it was only $16.

There's cute....

Woo-hoo! What swingin' chicks! Do you suppose they're going to Studio 54 tonight? :D

OMG DG MARIE... lol

I love my ponchos, but they are all of the shorter, hip length, can still see I am thin even tho I am busty variety.

:) Plus they are soooo comfortable. I truly cannot reccomend anything better to go see a movie in. More comfy evewn than a sweatshirt.

Excuse typos please, am drunkity drunk drunk drunk.

I'm not being mean to my friend, believe me I love her to life!

But, ponchos are good for her, because she tends to wear shirts too small. She has one poncho for everyone of her dress up outfits (mostly black, diff material). So ponchos actually make her outfits look cute.

i love her, she is so great!:)

I had a poncho like that when I was a little girl. It was like an afghan blanket with a hole for your head. My grandma and her sister in law liked to knit or crochet them. I forget which.

Did this ad really say that is it "warm as two hugs"??? I was unaware that hugs became a measurable unit of thermal efficiency.
