The pattern is so much more subtle, and still feminine, the other one was too big, too:-(. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580449 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 05:34:38 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1580449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!

Help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580435 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 04:55:19 +0000 JAileen 1580435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, thank you! You looked so great in it. I envision wearing it with jeans, boots, and a long sleeve tee or sweater. </p> <p>It's really gotten cold so I might not be able to wear it until Christmas when we'll be in the SF Bay Area visiting family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580401 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 02:53:02 +0000 goldenpig 1580401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow JAileen, that would be so awesome if we can be poncho twins! And thank you so much for your post, because I clicked on the link again to check it and now they have the orange and purple version of my turquoise one! Shorter and no fringe--I think this is worth duplicating! The purple/orange is also backordered for a month, but I hope it goes through--this purple one would be perfect!</p> <p>So the long fringey poncho is going back! As did the turquoise scarf...funny story, I stopped by Nordstrom on the way home from work today and returned the scarf and the SA said "sorry it didn't work out" and then I pointed out I was wearing the poncho in the same print! Kind of awkward to be wearing the same thing that you're returning, but funny. Meanwhile the female SA next to him asked "Nice Missoni! And is that a Longchamp bag?" The SAs (some of them at least) are really paying attention to what you're wearing! Although one time one of them complimented me on my outfit and asked where I got it and I said, "Target!" That was fun!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580368 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 01:16:24 +0000 E 1580368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for the turquoise one! Honestly, that one's so perfect on you the second one feels unnecessary, and this is from another maximal closet woman. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580366 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 01:13:17 +0000 Anonymous 1580366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ponchos are really fashionable, so I think it's good to have a few.<br /> I like the blue one better than the purple one, which is a bit too much for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580362 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 01:07:22 +0000 JAileen 1580362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF is pretty dangerous - I just ordered the blue one! When I clicked on it earlier it said unavailable. Now it says backordered. </p> <p>Angie - it's not grey! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580354 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 00:47:51 +0000 MsMary 1580354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first one! Just perfect!</p> <p>I'm not super loving the second one -- it seems just a tad long and I'm not feeling the colors as much. If I had both in my closet I fear I'd wear the turquoise one all the time and the berry one would languish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580345 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 00:21:28 +0000 goldenpig 1580345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true, Sharan.&nbsp;<div>Una, thanks for pointing out this turquoise poncho! It's so me and I'm so excited about it! Just like the skull poncho is so you! (I would totally wear that one, but I don't want to scare my patients...)</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580339 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 00:14:53 +0000 catgirl 1580339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that is the right decision! I do think the model is wearing hers off the shoulder which makes it look shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580335 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 00:11:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1580335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, looking again, I see that if I only saw the berry striped one, I would think it looked great and would vote keep. It's in comparison to the tourquoise one that it becomes second-best to me. Hard choices! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580319 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:41:58 +0000 goldenpig 1580319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback! I am actually wearing the turquoise poncho to work today as shown! I love it--it's like wearing a blanket to work! I often blur the lines between work and MOTG, so I would wear the poncho for both. I think if the second one were shorter and didn't have the fringe I'd be more enthusiastic about it. But I think I'm going to try out the purple scarf instead. I'm not going to return the berry poncho yet until I compare with the scarf, but I think it probably will end up being a return. Looking at the pics, it looks less polished than the first one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580313 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:33:21 +0000 Janet 1580313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first one. The second one is not nearly as stellar. If you were going to go for another poncho, I'd find one a bit more different from the one you already have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580305 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:26:40 +0000 Angie 1580305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE you in the blue. I vote keep that one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580294 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 23:15:29 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1580294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the turquoise one and am less keen on the other. Something about the color combo that I'm not loving. Do you wear the ponchos at work or are they just an off duty item? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580283 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:54:17 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1580283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, man! That tourquoise poncho is perfection on you. Super elegant, just the right shape and length, and it's great with your outfit. I'm not as keen on the second one. It looks more casual, perhaps because it looks more oversized and longer, and perhaps also because of the fringe. I would keep the scarf in that pattern to go matchy-matchy with DD and return the poncho. (Maybe you could sew the ends of the scarf together so it's an infinity, and it would be easier to wear??)<br />That said, you could certainly justify the second Missoni poncho, in that it is quite a different look and feel from the first one, and it does read more casual. So they could work for different circumstances and obviously, colorwise, they would go with different outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580278 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:47:20 +0000 Brooklyn 1580278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is perfect and the second one is sufficiently different to justify keeping it if you think you will wear both. I like the fringe. And missoni is forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580269 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:25:11 +0000 catgirl 1580269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The turquoise one is perfect. I knew it was this poncho when I saw your post title! I prefer the simple lack of fringe on it with the strong pattern - my skull one has fringe but that counters the DEATH HEAD look, IYKWIM. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580267 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:20:47 +0000 goldenpig 1580267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know why the second one is longer. They're both one size fits all, but the second one says "33 inches" and has fringe. You can see in the catalog pic that you can't even see the model's hand, so that was a clue that it is just longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580265 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:19:22 +0000 Anonymous 1580265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the turquoise poncho on you, especially with your chevron necklace. So glad it found you! The second poncho is different enough that you could keep both--especially if you think your climate means you'll wear them both a lot. But if you only keep one, I vote for the turquoise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580264 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:19:03 +0000 JAileen 1580264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you can have too many ponchos. I love the turquoise one on you. Why is the berry one so much longer? Is it a different style? I prefer the fit of the turquoise one. If you keep the berry one to match with your daughter, would you be disappointed if she suddenly had a grow spurt and couldn't wear hers anymore? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-114-missoni-poncho-and-kr-on-a-2nd#post-1580263 Wed, 04 Nov 2015 22:12:32 +0000 goldenpig 1580263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of ponchos, I first saw this poncho when Alaskagirl linked it on one of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-challenge-how-to-spend-my-350-nordies-gift-card">Ms. Mary's threads</a> and I was instantly obsessed. I love chevron patterns and turquoise/teal and mustard. And I love Missoni and had bought a bunch of stuff when they had the Missoni x Target collection. So I immediately went to add the poncho to my Nordstrom cart, but it was out of stock! And it was nowhere to be found anywhere else online. I kept checking every day to see if it would come back in stock, but nothing for weeks. I saw another Missoni poncho at Neiman Marcus online that I also liked. After several weeks, I finally decided to try it, and also ordered a scarf in the turquoise pattern from Nordstrom. I had all but given up on the turquoise poncho, especially because it disappeared from my cart and wish list (i.e. it wasn't even showing the pic and saying "not available"--they had completely removed the item from the website). But one day I checked (about three weeks since I started looking) and suddenly it was back in stock! I immediately pounced. Here it is, what do you think? I wore #1 to work today. Now I'm wondering what I should do with the second poncho. I really really like it but am wondering if I can justify another one. </p> <p>The pros are that I really love the colors and pattern--I really like the berry color for autumn (the turquoise seems like more of a spring/summer color). Plus it appeals to my matchy matchy tendencies--it would match so well with a Missoni Target cape I bought for DD back then. It's a 2T-3T, so it's a bit small on her, but she's so tiny it still looks OK (even though she's 8!!) Or I could try to find a bigger one on Ebay. How cute would that be if we wore our matching Missoni ponchos?! Also I got that one for 25% off with a NM promotion, so it's cheaper. On the other hand, I'm a little unsure about the length--it is longer than the other one and wondering if it looks too big and overwhelming, especially since the pattern is so dramatic (I'm pretty sure if DH saw this one he would comment on the crazy pattern/colors). Also not crazy about the fringe, but I could live with it. But I kind of irrationally love it! The question is whether two Missoni ponchos is too much, or are they different enough I can wear both? They are so light yet cozy and with the Bay Area climate I could wear them nearly year round. The other option is to buy a scarf. I think I'm going to return the turquoise scarf since I finally got the turquoise poncho, but there is a purple scarf which I could order in lieu of the berry poncho. It is much more subtle and would be different from the turquoise poncho. The truth is though, I'm not much of a scarf gal. I hardly ever wear them because they just feel like they're dangling and in the way at work or with toddlers (risk of strangulation, haha). Ponchos just seem more like "me" than scarves so I think I'd get more use out of another poncho than a scarf.</p> <p>And full confession, I already have two other solid color ponchos:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/post/wiw-little-orphan-orange-and-poncho-punch">http://goldenpig.lookfab.com/p.....ncho-punch</a>&nbsp;(Although I could probably purge the purple one if needed.)<br />So, what do you think? How poncho crazy can I get? Can I justify keeping a second Missoni poncho or not? Enable me or else slap some sense into me!</p> <p>ETA (see below thread): found an orange/purple version of my turquoise one! It's backordered, but it will be perfect!</p>
