Probably since I haven't been shopping lately I'm feeling an itch but lately I have been seeing ponchos that are making me wonder if they would be a good addition to my wardrobe. It's been 40s in the AM warming up to 70s so a poncho could be a nice layer for chilly mornings and evenings. Plus the cozy factor of course helps plead it's case.

I saw one on Una's thread and also Dashelle (sp) posted a fab EF one today. I even looked at the etsy seller Una recommended and love the two tone ones.

So -- what makes a poncho modern and updated instead of frumpalicious granny wear? I'm thinking for me it would need some structure around the shoulders if possible. I discovered the same thing while looking for fluid tops and tunics.
