And I think you are flagged on ponchos!!</p> <p>I love that purple sweater poncho on your and that Helene Berman is so awesome with your leopard pumps. Fun shopping, now branch out to some other fun stuff </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love#post-443118 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:40:26 +0000 Aida 443118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh I adore the first orange and last purple sweaters on you, so cute!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love#post-443053 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:29:07 +0000 missvee 443053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I would keep #6 as neither the colour or the style are screaming out fabulous. I love the sweater in #10-12 - such great colour on you and it's a nice drapey knit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love#post-442862 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:50:53 +0000 goldenpig 442862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amyreh, thanks, this cape/poncho look is perfect for apples! And even if the trend fades, I can save them to wear later if I ever need maternity clothes again in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love#post-442855 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:45:19 +0000 amyreh 442855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your long thin legs work great with capes! I like them all, but might return 6-7 if it bothers you, I could see how the issues you have with it would be annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love#post-442849 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:39:38 +0000 goldenpig 442849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahaha Una, I know! That's why I when I picked up the orange poncho yesterday I was thinking I might need to return the green one, because three sweater ponchos is a lot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love#post-442847 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:35:03 +0000 catgirl 442847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look at you! I love this look too. Just be careful not to OD on several versions of one item that you might tire of... I've made that mistake before! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love#post-442841 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:25:28 +0000 goldenpig 442841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Apropos of Angie's recent post about oversize tops, it seems I have amassed quite a collection of capes &amp; ponchos lately! All of my old clothes were a little too baggy, so I've really been making a conscious effort to size down and wear more slim-fitting clothes. And yet it seems I have been going in the opposite direction as well with these huge tops. Just thought I'd share my collection! What do you think?</p> <p>1-3. Saw this orange poncho at Nordstrom and it was so fab it followed me home! I love the pumpkin spice color, perfect for fall. And I love how it's a true poncho so your arms are free to move around. It was full price but I returned stuff to Nordstrom and got a price adjustment at Anthro on my red trench so I didn't have to fork over any additional money to get it. I am in love with this poncho!<br /> 4-5. Golden Gate Cardigan from Anthro--also got two price adjustments on this baby. I love this deep purple color. Unfortunately, the bottom is starting to pill a bit after only one wear. I guess that's the way of things with knits?<br /> 6-7. Cabled Cocoon poncho in moss green from Anthro. Also got on super duper sale so it was pretty cheap. Haven't worn this out yet, not sure if I want to keep it? The arms come out of these little slits in the front so it's a bit more restrictive otherwise the poncho rides up. Also not sure if this goes with my complexion as well as the orange and purple. What do you think--keep or return?<br /> 8-9. Helene Berman cape from Nordstrom--I managed to get a $100 price adjustment on this--yay! I know camel is kind of boring on me, but sometimes I need a neutral topper.<br /> 10-12. I was so bummed that the Missoni Target purple space dye turtleneck I ordered was too big for me and had to be returned, but look what I found at Macy's--the exact same print in a poncho type shirt! It was just draped over a rack all by its lonesome (nothing like it anywhere) and it happened to be my size. So I think it must be fate! I've never had a top like this--it's basically a rectangle but sewn up at the sides, so it doesn't show your bra and drapes when you have your arms down. Fun! </p>
