I am so glad this is a keep because I can't trust my own judgment sometimes.

I think the skulls are all the more edgy with your grey hair. Memento mori at its most defiant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578894 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 01:39:38 +0000 gryffin 1578894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Incredibly awesome!! &nbsp;Glad you kept it. &nbsp;It's truly magnificent and so happy that you felt amazing wearing it!! &nbsp;But you are really such a bad influence on me!! &nbsp;You had to look fabulous. &nbsp;So I then enter paroxysms of poncho envy when I have firmly talked myself out of a poncho. &nbsp;I totally adore the skull poncho but light a gray is not my best color but the silhouette, drape, length and fringe wasa just amazing so I could not resist checking out 360 cashmere to assure myself that this poncho did not come in another color. &nbsp;Of course, there was a fab ombre gray/black but again pale gray and pale skin, not so good. but there it was the all black. &nbsp;Mysterious, velvety, soft cashmere singing it's siren song of warmth, elegance of the joy that only a portable cashmere blankie can confer. &nbsp;I honestly tried to resist. &nbsp; Plus the 31% discount was about to run out......so I did it. &nbsp;Ordered and on the way. &nbsp;Only hoping I look and feel half as stunning in mine as you do in yours!! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578886 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 01:15:43 +0000 Beth Ann 1578886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I need this for my church capsule............</p> <p>Seriously, it's glamorous, cuddly and completely you.&nbsp; It doesn't overwhelm you at all, although I think you might need to wear it with a bit of heel, ideally.&nbsp; 2 inches should do it. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578659 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 03:30:52 +0000 unfrumped 1578659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's like the swashbuckling thing.

So there.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578650 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 02:33:31 +0000 Eliza 1578650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy says it all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578648 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 02:27:04 +0000 catgirl 1578648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I bit the bullet on this and wore it to work today, as people were dressing for Halloween.&nbsp; I got more compliments on it than anything else I've ever worn.&nbsp; And it is soft, warm, and amazingly manageable despite the fringe factor.&nbsp; I feel super-happy in it.&nbsp; </p> <p>I don't know when I could get away with wearing it to work again, but the joy factor is OVER THE TOP.&nbsp; And I'm not sure why - it's the combination of luxury, edge, and comfort, maybe?&nbsp; I need to think it out more...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578643 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 02:11:08 +0000 Karie 1578643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girlfriend, this totally fits your style, you ROCK it, it's not too long but looks funky and cool just the way it is!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578641 Sat, 31 Oct 2015 02:00:16 +0000 Eliza 1578641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many aspects of the poncho seem to be you. &nbsp;You asked to be talked off the cliff, sort of, so how about this question: </p> <p>Is it fussy to wear? &nbsp;Or better, is it too fussy for you to wear? Do you put it on and feel wrapped in joy? Apparently yes: "oh how I love it!".</p> <p>I like it on you, perhaps because of the compelling juxtaposition of skulls and cosy, combined with the color. &nbsp;Personally, I am getting lazy about managing lots of details in my garments and would likely feel I had a frisky puppy on me the whole time I had that amount of fringe on. And I know for others, the "puppy factor" would clinch the deal. </p> <p>I'm hoping you keep it, in part because of how enthusiastic you are. Because everyone needs a little perk once in awhile as my mother used to say. Maybe substitute "wild card" for perk.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578617 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 23:16:48 +0000 Style Fan 1578617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Skulls are so you.&nbsp; And the colour is perfect with your hair.&nbsp; I didn't notice the size of the poncho.&nbsp; It is so right for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578549 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 18:15:32 +0000 catgirl 1578549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HA!&nbsp; I'm going to use "three exclamation points" as my standard from now on, Ruthe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578505 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 16:15:14 +0000 Echo 1578505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely disagree about looking for something that "fits" better. The drama and length of this poncho are part of what contribute to the look - they don't detract from it at all. I think it fits you perfectly. Like others have said, depending on how it looks in motion, you may or may not want to narrow it, but it looks like perfection in your photos. LOVE. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578425 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 13:07:34 +0000 ruthe 1578425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You used 3 exclamation points in the first 3 sentences. You like the piece very much. My question is...why do you need to be 'talked out of' keeping a garment you so obviously want to keep. You certainly don't need my permission to wear something so delightful.&nbsp; xoxo, Ruthe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho/page/2#post-1578418 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 12:29:30 +0000 Anonymous 1578418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Aliona</b>&nbsp;summed it up perfectly. &nbsp;There is nothing I could add to what she had to say. &nbsp;</p> <p>I do want echo others that said they love it on you, but that they personally could not carry it off because it does not fit their style. &nbsp;The reason I loved it in the first place was because this piece literally <u>shouted</u> "<b>AlaskaGirl</b>." &nbsp;It was like it was made specifically for you. &nbsp;Pieces like that are quite rare. &nbsp;If something says my name I buy it instantly. &nbsp;No questions asked. &nbsp;</p> <p>Then on top of that, you styled it so perfectly. &nbsp;Everything worked in this ensemble. &nbsp;It is perfection. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho#post-1578412 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 12:10:56 +0000 shedev 1578412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho#post-1578405 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 11:53:01 +0000 Janet 1578405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Sally and Aliona. It may go against conventional wisdom but it's working for you. I'm taller and it would probably fit my height better but not my style. You love it -- it loves you. :-)</p> <p>I'm enjoying my poncho enough that I'm fighting the urge to go get the solid burgundy AT one. I don't need two, right? Especially since I'm about to spend a month on the ranch? Sometimes being sensible is hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho#post-1578394 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 11:31:23 +0000 Anonymous 1578394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm the worst analyst on what makes things work or not, but here are my uneducated thoughts: Cashmere is light and drapey, not bulky. The fringe is long and flowy, so both those factors will help this piece move with you instead of overwhelming. The colour's light, too, and the print is muted and subtle, not in-your-face. IMO that makes the piece look higher end, edgy sophisticated. Then there's your colouring and the fact you styled the piece with the grey and boots, which grounds the look. The overall effect with your stunning hair is gorgeous. Finally, it's your style and you love and *own* it. That comes through in your pics. </p> <p>Plus, the fringe on the poncho echoes kitty's tail! S/he just had to get in the picture to send the subtle message, "Keep....keep...Keeeep...I can't wait to get my claws in that and make it my own." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho#post-1578388 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 10:36:27 +0000 missvee 1578388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's fabulous. If you ignore the fringe it's barely to your knees so I don't see anything wrong with the proportions. It's a dramatic look that totally works on you. Plus you love it, and to my mind that's what always seals the deal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho#post-1578353 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 05:26:51 +0000 Sal 1578353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is one of those intangible things. &nbsp;I am tall and it would probably be the "right" size on me, but it would be <b>so</b>&nbsp;wrong because however much I love it I am not a skull poncho type. &nbsp;Suz was on the wrong end of that with the skirted leggings of controversy quite a few months ago.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho#post-1578348 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 05:23:23 +0000 catgirl 1578348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Lisa would say: YOU GUYS! </p> <p>I was so resigned to packing this up and sending it back, because I was sure people would think it was too big and overwhelming, despite my love for it. I was specifically thinking of another member, maybe Rute, who posted a poncho that got voted too big. I mean, I'm barely 5'2".</p> <p>Don't get me wrong - I adore it and will happily keep, but what makes this work?</p> <p>Marley, it's Skull Cashmere. I got a discount code for it. And it's still crazy expensive. But oh how I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-had-to-try-the-skull-poncho#post-1578346 Fri, 30 Oct 2015 05:16:49 +0000 Colette 1578346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have to keep it.
