Peacock

Cardigan, Gap. Sheer blouse, Forever 21. Striped trousers, Moda International. Belt, Chinese Laundry. Slingbacks, Linea Paolo. Faux feather earrings, Ali’s Boutique. Purse, Isaac Mizrahi for Target.

Last time I wore blue and green together, Erica commented that peacocks do it all the time. I had a blue/green combo percolating in my head when I spotted these earrings at Ali’s Boutique. They appear to be peacock feathers at first, but are actually made of string. The illusion is very good.



My husband grew up on a hobby farm in North Dakota. For awhile, his family kept peacocks. They didn’t last long because, apparently, peacocks like to sun themselves on the road. They were all run over. My mother-in-law still has quite a collection of peacock tail feathers and I am insanely jealous when I spot them prettily displayed in a brass urn.

Am I the only one who feels sorry for peahens and most female birds in general? I’d be miserable if I were so drab. I’m glad I have the ability to change my “plumage” at will.



P.S. I really like this bag.


My Precious!
