I do prefer this to the Burberry. It is quite elegant the way you have it styled.

You're welcome! I'm no expert on the colour block poncho but the one you attached is the only "colour block" poncho. They have other ponchos in different color ways that are similar and blanket like but not "colour block". Also, the reason you could put it in your cart is has just become available again in the last day or two. It comes available and then sells out and then comes available again. If you want one, it is probably best to get it now cause you never know when it will sell out again. HTH!!
Thank you for the intel- I was confused because there are posts about long waitlists and I was able to breeze through with it in my cart with the merchant ready to run my cc. I am not that crazy about the look for myself. But it looks amazing on others.
Another way off topic shopping find (sorry!) but still keeping with the "poncho blanket" (sort of) trend- these flew out of stock at LLB (this is the shorter 10" version and made in the US which is a plus):

Yup, I ended up with the mustard (officially, the "Paille") Rocabar! I honestly don't know if it suits me, but it is a lovely color. Haven't modeled it for DH yet. I fear he will be one of those men who doesn't "get" the poncho.
Beautiful! I've really enjoyed seeing various ladies wear it - from 5'1"-6'1"... It looks good on everyone I've seen on here, whether DHs agree or not! I'm sure you'll get great use out of it...
This looks unbelievably fabulous on you, Monceau!And I love how you've accessorized it with the belt...just perfect!
Thank you so much! My Boutique called me today about the gray, so I'll have it next week, yay!
Thank you so much, MrsJDS
Monceau, you look wonderful. And I agree, the colorblock Burberry has taken off, so it will be "so 2014" next year. Sigh. But mine has my initials on it, so I can't resell it. If nothing else, I will wear it with the tacit message, "Hey, I was an early jumper on the bandwagon"!
Thank you, dear.
I still think the colorblock Burberry is fabulous (and I left my name on the list
)Thank you for your super-kind words. I'm so glad I gave this a second try, and I have IF and Arabesques to thank, as do we all!
Thank you, dear. It is already an irreplaceable part of my wardrobe.
There is a long wait list, but a few have popped up on the website. The boutiques offered a monogram option, but keeping it non-monogrammed gives one the option to re-home it later.
Yyayayayayay PICS!!!!
Not understanding how u ever thought this didn't look nice on u!!!!
I think you are tall enough to wear this any way possible and look HOT! Seriously. I'm not one to give compliments just for sake of being nice. It looks smashing!
Tossed over one shoulder is nice too bc it shows off the legs
My personal favorite way to wear it....
They gave me the option of monogramming on the website for 300. It is not something I will use and there are other things I would rather spend the $ on. But the price point is fair.
Suggestion: perhaps an "Ode to the Hermes Poncho" is warranted in the clubhouse. I do not want to take away from the OP's original intent for this thread.
With the cooling weather, I've been wearing my ponchos constantlytruly. I love how warm and festive they are (especially if you wear a shearling jacket underneath). I took a picture yesterday before heading out for a festive day...
And a note . . . I wear them often with lots of different scarves. Here, it's with a doubled up Metamorphoses par Hermès mixing the Cendre/Jaune cw with the Gris Perle cw (I love this scarf design).

You are stunning! Gosh, this red is so pretty, how are we supposed to pick only one color? Maybe we aren't...
Gorgeous! My idea about keeping the scarves paired with a poncho streamlined just flew out the window! This looks beautiful in a fluffy knot
Reeling with joy at seeing you in your Rouge H Monceau and quite frankly thinking what on earth ever made you question whether this suited you ...it's everything I love : chic, elegant, understated, arty .
I'm picking mine up on Monday , decided to exchange the Paille for Rouge H and hoping I can look half as good as you
Looking great Arabesques love the green against the ochre of the Rocabar , you suit these colours so well
