Not that I'm a fashionista, not even in the least, but I do agree with this article. I think my FOP (Fear Of Poncho) began on the day I walked into Belk's and saw the poncho-only department as described by Ms. Fortini. I love a trend, but too much of a good thing scares me. Like Dr. Scholl's sandals...no matter how cool the pair, I just don't think I can follow the trend, now that it is so very much a trend.
Its not that I don't buy into fads - I have a bunch of animal prints this fall, I'm dying for a round-toed pump, and I really, really want to knit my daughter a poncho. But more than likely I'll still be cowering in the cold wearing last year's Target suede jacket whilst the rest of the population snuggles into their armless covers.
That is hilarious. And yes, I would want to wear it more, too.
ReplyDeleteI have one - never thought I would but it was given to me and I did wear it last weekend. Someone called me a "teenager". Not sure it was a compliment. I will definitely be sporting my jacket form last year - as one form a few years back. Trends are trends - Raleigh style is it's own (as is motherhood of two).
