When I saw this commercial for Portlandia, it hit a little close to home. Looking around my living room right now, I see framed prints of birds, a bird statuette, and three bird-printed pillows, not to mention a decorative bird cage and a paperweight shaped like a duck. My first thought upon seeing the commercial was, I better cool it. I probably don't need a bird on everything. But you know what? I like birds. They're pretty and they make other things pretty. So I'm embracing my desire to put a bird on it, whatever it is. And here is the wonderful if somewhat pathetic result: an outfit with not one but two bird-printed fabrics. I bought the tote bag a for a few pounds at the Victoria and Albert Museum in order to lug stuff around London when I broke my leather tote. The dress is a slightly more recent addition from the Banana Republic outlet. And by the way, the birds love hanging out with the giraffe charm I'm wearing as a necklace. Do I go overboard with critters? Perhaps, but I'm not sorry.
I wore this for a trip to the beach (and a beachside pizza parlor)! It's still too cold to swim, but it was an absolutely beautiful day.
