For some reason I am drawn to anything with a feather motif, especially peacock feathers. I love the iridescence, the soft shape - can’t really tell why I love them but I have for years. Most ‘motif’ clothing, however, smacks of puffy paint sweatshirts with kitties and bunnies to me but this cotton sequin tee from Tar-jay really looks pretty good in person, its subdued but still has some spark. The sizing, however, is a joke - I tried them on and if I get one, it would have to be in an XL, seriously. I put this on under a wine colored long thin cardigan and it looked much richer than you would expect.

So, its been a blizzard here now for days, and essentially the only way to get anything or go anywhere is to bundle up to a ridiculous degree and literally drag back your necessities on a sled behind you. I kid you not. However, intrepid CovetGirl has had experience with this sort of thing living for years in Alaska, where they do not mess around with the snow and ice and I laugh in the face of an arctic blast! (Ok, so I mutter and complain under my scarf into the cold as I trudge…)

In any event, its an excuse to break out some of the fun winter stuff I have and make people stare and snicker at me…My inspiration:

(And yes, I know its real fur they are wearing above, ahem - let’s just not go there, OK?)

My version: My hat is shearling, so I was toasty warm! (excuse the cell phone camera, you get the idea.)

Me = Russian Princess. Coat & hat, thrifted
