The current fashion trend for women/juniors/pre-teens is the poncho and I'm sick of it already. Stop wearing them!!! Yeah, you can wear whatever you want, but geez, be original and dress differently if you can...why dress like the next Jane? If you like 'em you like 'em but do you need it?

So true...
Coupled with all the plastic surgery and the same hairstyles, I can't tell Jane from Joanne these days. It's all a blur...

I hadn't noticed, but I don't tend to pay attention to fashion. In fact, when I read the first post in this thread, I was trying to think of the last time I saw a bunch of people wearing a mexican rug or a plastic rain pancho for an event that wasn't a theme party kind of a deal. I couldn't remember such a time.
It seems to me that jeans and a t-shirt are perfectly reasonable attire for just about any occasion.

[quote author= IdahoBoy®® link=board=chitchat&thread=1098137530&start=2#0 date=1098139662]So, is this post inspired by the MSN headline article? slate.msn.com/id/2108192/?GT1=5472What I don't like is the poofy dresses and such over jeans. Yeck.[/quote] Actually I was complaining about it since late last month and last week Tuesday at a social mixer(it was small talk - something to get the conversation going)...then an hour ago a coworker pointed this exact article out to me because he remembered me griping out loud to anyone who would listen to me about this poncho fad. So the answer to your question Taco Time is no, this article did not inspire me to post this topic. This poncho fad got on my nerves when I saw too many girls/women wearing them at the mall, in this case The Grove and the Beverly Center. One fad that is finally going away is women wearing mid-driff tops. Ever notice that the women(and girls) that shouldn'be be wearing are wearing them? The reason it got on my nerves is that it just didn't look good on them and to top it off they were wearing it with low-rise jeans. Most of them didn't have the body shape to be wearing those types of clothes...in other words they didn't have a flat belly/abs of steel and well...I'm gonna stop right there. Men who have a keg belly shouldn't be walking shirtless, so women who have more than an inch of fat to pinch(it's a good thing my friends didn't come near you with a caliper to see how much body fat you have hanging over your clothes and out of your clothes) shouldn't have been wearing those types of tops. On the other hand - some guys dig women wearing them even if they don't have the body-to-die-for, so I can see why they(you) would want to wear them. I know this isn't Craigslist where there is a rant&rave section, but that's just my point-of-view which probably isn't worth two cents.

I'm so fashion sensless that I didn't even know ponchos were "in". I wonder if I could find one to match my orange cowboy hat?

We are in the middle of a women's crack epidemic and finally we are moving towards the full fledged "BURKA LOOK".

I like the poncho look. But only as long as there's nothing else underneath. ;D
