Warmth You Can Twirl In

 

For Christmas last month, I gave my girlfriend this. Here is what the description on Amazon said it is:

Nomad Women's Retro Style Poncho Cape Boho Shawl Wraps Ruana Printed Tassel Cardigan for Spring Fall Winter

What the heck?


The description of this is 5 different things!

1.Poncho

2.Shawl

3.Cape

4.Ruana

5.Cardigan

And what Is a Ruana anyway? 

“A ruana is a wool poncho-style outer garment native to the Colombian and Venezuelan Andes.”

 It was very soft and beautiful though. Here she is trying it on in the mirror with me snapping behind her.


I'm thinking of buying one myself.


“A poncho turns a breeze into a moment.”

living in cold country, this would be perfect to throw on and go to your mailbox, or for me wandering around in the back yard in middle of night with a sick dog. and a blog friend says she has to wear something inside the house, when its 9 degrees outside, this would be comfy as a layer. Iove the photo of both of you and another good thing is one size does fit all... I have never seen one or even heard of one..
