Ponchos first made their way onto the fashion scene in the 70's. They had
a resurgence about 30 years later, but the ponchos of the late 90's /
early 2000's are better off forgotten. Cringe worthy - they were usually
cropped, often asymmetrical, and over-all just plain awful. I had a
bright turquoise one with fringe... oh yes, I did.
I've been hunting for a poncho over the last few years. I have come across some fabulous designer-y versions that were out of my budget, and I've searched Etsy for hours, but I have yet to find the one for me. Sigh...
(If I haven't purchased this vintage beauty [#4] before you read this, you better beat me to it!)
I love the one on the bottom left!!!
ReplyDeleteMe too :) It's from ModCloth. Unfortunately, it's sold out.
DeleteI have two vintage ponchos circa 1977, my mom wore them when she was pregnant with me...I might just have to pull them out of the closet:)
