Fat Tony: Who's to say? Does a peacock need all those feathers?
Ah, the peacock. A shy bird, a retiring bird. A bird that likes to less loose.
If the peacock was human, he would be:

Oh hang on, you want a better look at the pattern?
Yes, it is not for the faint of heart!
The blazer is by Basler. It is a soft heavy cotton blazer. They make a matching blouse, though my blazer has charcoal undertones. I bought it at a sample sale way back in July and it just arrived this week. I love it and can see it going with many items in my wardrobe!
In the picture above, which is hard to see, I am wearing it with a turquoise silk blouse from Talbots from a couple of years ago and pair of Judith and Charles black wool trousers along with my black nine west pumps.
And my 30% off sale box arrived with my new sparkle row cami in navy:
Don't ask me why my nose is red! I think it is because I just came in from the cold and wanted to try this on before I forgot to take the picture!
It is very pretty, and I can imagine wearing this a lot this winter, for dinners out, parties, etc.. Buy yours here.
The picture makes it look lighter than it is, it is certainly a true dark navy. I really love this and for the price I paid, consider it money well spent!
I see lots of activity today around the 30% off sale. I will likely sit this one out, unless every item I love goes on sale! Crossing my fingers no!
I received the last of my sale items today. A black cashmere cardigan:
and heather poppy cashmere tshirt.
This one is heading back. IRL there are definite orange overtones and it is note a flattering shade for me. I am actually going to see if my VPS will let me exchange this for the pagoda blue at the sale price. I will try and be extra sweet, but am not hopeful!
There you have adventures in WMMland! Have the most happiest of Tuesdays and stay safe out there!

I love the sparkle cami. I need one too. But I have to stop this late night/early morning shopping with you. ;)
ReplyDeleteI know! But you saved me on the brown capris! I abhor static cling, so unlined would not work. See I am $100 richer!!!!
DeleteWMM I was wondering if you were going to join our pyjama party!
DeleteLove the hilarious pictures of Ru Paul and Cher. Your jacket is excellent, it's very You!
i thought about the pyjama party but am thinking of the green or purple pants so let these ones go!
DeleteThe sparkle cami looks so pretty on you, WMM! Not to mention that it will go with many items already in your wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteAnything at J.Crew that comes in some form of poppy color is always that orangey-red, not a true red. They seem to not like to make anything in a true red, unfortunately. I hope your PS lets you exchange for the Pagoda Blue. It's such a lovely color you. :)
I will let you know FFM - since I only paid $104 for the sweater, it would be a coup to exchange for the pagoda blue - I could cross the tippi off the list (or exchange for another colour next sale!).
DeleteIt is funny. I got the crystal button in a red last holiday season, and it looked nice, but this red is the same red as the dreaded pea coat that I gave away! Not good at all!
I wonder why they do so little true red. They had a "marachino cherry" color in the Jackie (last year?) and this year I saw a pair of 3" chino shorts in the store that I wanted but I need the 5" and they didn't make it in that color in the 5".
DeleteOh WMM, you are tempting me to return to the sparkle row cami. Love me some navy as an alternative to black. And, of course, visions of champagne parties and sugarplum fairies twirling in my head, instead of practical gaps (must re-visit FFM). Fingers crossed for your hoped exchange! (And there's no way I would have sample sale patience from July to October, good on you, blouse goes well.)
ReplyDeleteHi GF, patience is a virtue for a peacock! i love the sparkle row cami, am planning to wear it over the holidays with black silk talbots pants, black tuxedo jacket and sparkle shoes!
DeleteOver-the-top Tuesday lol! Who knew, I am unprepared today :-) I don't think I own anything fun like that. You wore it well! The sparkle-row cami is great on you.
ReplyDeleteCate - I know you are sparkling out there somewhere!!!!!!
DeleteGood morning WMM - your blazer is a perfect fit for you, and the print is amazing! I love the cami too. By the way, I also love your bedroom wall paint - we have a similar colour in our small main floor family room.
ReplyDeleteYou know I love me some colour!!! It is such a nice peacock blue and I do love it a lot - I look healthy in that bedroom! and then I have raspberry pink in the hallway. We are not sure with colour and my DH loves colour as well! if I ever clean my bedroom sufficiently, I will do another chez wmm!
