I love the color. With ponchos, I like to wear a long necklace - kind of emphasizes the boho look to me. Like it was mentioned above, ponchos always look better in movement.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567558 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 05:48:46 +0000 WillyCloninger 1567558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The outfit looks beautiful. This suits even well on you as you have the built. I would also like to add these to my <a href="http://elliawear.com/designers/bondi-bather/" rel="nofollow">Bondi Bather</a> collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567472 Mon, 05 Oct 2015 00:46:12 +0000 catgirl 1567472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay ponchos! I think you have the build to carry off this length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567458 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 23:07:07 +0000 Style Fan 1567458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz.&nbsp; I have some ideas after posting the pics and looking more carefully at some pins.&nbsp; You are right about the camera angle.&nbsp; I had felt a bit boxed it by the colour thinking I could only wear black or very dark denim with it.&nbsp; But I am going to be a bit more creative.<br />I did notice what you had said about living in this climate and wearing ponchos.&nbsp; It is true that they get very little wear.&nbsp; Sort of like my leather jackets.&nbsp; I have to wear them when I get the chance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567437 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 20:47:05 +0000 Suz 1567437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous colour on you and the texture is also so interesting. I think maybe the angle of the photo is distorting the effect. If you do feel it is too overwhelming in real life, I think it would be pretty easy to make some adjustments. It's such a unique piece that it seems well worth playing with to make it absolutely perfect for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567393 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 18:02:08 +0000 Style Fan 1567393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Carole! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567338 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 16:24:55 +0000 Carole 1567338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, color for you!

Might pitch in next week...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567229 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 09:04:53 +0000 approprio 1567229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. But then, I am loyally signed to Team Poncho, even when relegated.&nbsp;</p> <p>It really does look terrific. The colour is superb on you and I can see that's top quality fabric too, so those are the two vital ingredients taken care of. I think the challenge for you might be proportion - does it feel a bit big on you?</p> <p>Maybe try a bigger scarf to balance things out, or statement boots? I've been wearing mine this year with a Breton shirt and a chunky necklace, but that's not for everyone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567210 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 04:58:26 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1567210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>P.S. Re my last comment, though, I think I'm probably seeing what your mind's eye saw--a super outfit, worth repeating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567207 Sun, 04 Oct 2015 04:43:13 +0000 Brooklyn 1567207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great and that colour is perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1567102 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 23:59:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1567102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit, Staysfit. You wear a poncho with appropriate panache--letting it shine with those gorgeous jewelry pieces as support. The color is so gorgeous and so you. I agree the camera angle is distorting our view a bit here. And I totally commiserate with that feeling that an outfit "looks better in my mind's eye." That happens to me so often with WIW photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1566986 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 16:55:25 +0000 Bonnie 1566986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the angle of the photo is distorting the look of the poncho. It's beautiful and you look good in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1566928 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 14:42:42 +0000 Angie 1566928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer fun and SOOO you.

Ponchos require movement to look good. It would look best with a video clip. The color is fabulous for you. The jeans underneath are perfect, and I love the scarf. It's hard for me to see much of your top except at the sleeves but when you move it would be more exposed. Lovely! The length is not too long at all. My first though was that you have very long looking legs and carry that look off wonderfully! </p> <p>I wore my poncho yesterday also. It garnered many complements as people where I live have been very slow to jump on the poncho train! (That's a bit of a pun :-). ) Maybe I will go back and post a picture, the problem is I have to wash the top I wore first. My lunch spilled in my lap yesterday! Oops! I had to stand up quickly to get out of a little persons way when they were having a tantrum. It happens. In any case, I wore it with a light weight asymmetrical knit top, an equally light weight cascade cardigan topper, skinny cropped jeans and what might be called ballet flats for lack of a better term. The outfit was all about movement, and one of the adolescents said I was a butterfly. I think it's hard to mess up with a poncho. They are very forgiving as long as you have picked one with a good color and texture for your personal features. Mine is super warm also, more of an outdoor coverup than an indoor fashion item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1566863 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 10:11:47 +0000 Style Fan 1566863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap&nbsp; The colour is what caught my eye when I first saw the poncho in the store.&nbsp; I love cognac and pumpkin.&nbsp; I think it is a bit overwhelming though.&nbsp; It is all one piece so no seam.&nbsp; But now that you have suggested that I have some ideas.&nbsp; Thank you!<br />L'Abeille&nbsp; Belting is a good idea.&nbsp; I definitely have puny shoulders.&nbsp; I am waiting patiently for the return of shoulder pads.&nbsp; Best invention ever!&nbsp; I agree that handmade artisan products are lovely.&nbsp; I have a soft spot for Quebec.&nbsp; (Are you French?)<br />Deborah&nbsp; That is a good point.&nbsp; DH is on a slant.&nbsp; Thank you.&nbsp; I do like the poncho.<br />Good point Ruby girl.<br />Thank you Thistle.<br />Thank you Kelly girl.&nbsp; I see now what&nbsp;both you and&nbsp;Deborah are pointing out about the camera.&nbsp; So much to think about.<br />Theodora I love the colour.&nbsp; I thought about cognac booties but wondered if it&nbsp;would be too much.&nbsp;&nbsp;Good idea!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1566790 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 03:47:25 +0000 Theodora 1566790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That color is amazing!

The angle of your photo is what is making it look too big;). I think it's perfect. Simple styling here and it's the star;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1566699 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 00:37:59 +0000 L'Abeille 1566699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks as though if you just bend an elbow or move in any natural way there would be lovely drape happening. (At least there would with my linebacker shoulders) What if you try something under that has a bit of shoulder pads (is that even still a thing?)</p> <p>Also with the shape of the sleeve/arm part it looks like it would work great if you belted it.</p> <p>Handmade artisanal poncho=the best poncho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-poncho-and-jeans#post-1566690 Sat, 03 Oct 2015 00:21:45 +0000 Anonymous 1566690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very cool, and the colour is amazing for you.
