Faux Royal Turkey

I have been so unbelievable busy, aaargh!  But, thought I'd better do a post today.  This top is one of those which I think of as "not sure if it's ugly or cute  but I really like it" prints.

It sort of reminds me of peacock feathers.  Did you know that in Spanish, a peacock is called a "Royal Turkey"?  I know, strange right?  Maybe it stems from the Peacock Throne expression.

I originally thought it was a cardigan because it has buttons down the front, but no.  It's a faux cardigan!  I didn't wear a scarf - thought it would be too much.

Here's a closer look at the print and belt.  I had to take this pic separately because my pics are just not coming out as clear as I'd like.

But you can see how the print looks like stitching - but it's not.

We had a nice leaving lunch for a couple more staff members at a fabulous Indian Buffet, so the top was in its element.

  2. I've been too busy as well, so nice to hear I'm not alone... The top is gorgeous, and a faux cardigan sounds very practical. I always have trouble with buttoned cardigans because of my large bust.

    I think the white door is a great background for your pictures.

  3. Where have you been, Narda? Hope you're doing okay. I'm so used to seeing your posts in my iGoogle or Google Reader pages, which both are being retired by Google this year. In process of moving my subscriptions to my Yahoo Reader.
