Maybe this was designed by a newcomer who wanted to make a splash coming in or something. I think this would look more appropriate on the runway on a model at fashion week but not so much on the average everyday woman.Posey Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252352690500244724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1317882250647868056.post-59556403389185671502009-03-22T14:09:00.000-04:002009-03-22T14:09:00.000-04:00^No. It depends entirely on the height of the woma...^No. It depends entirely on the height of the woman.

If they were random, with perhaps more feathers, or larger feathers, the effect would be more feminine and balance the rich tweed. <BR/><BR/>And the poster at 7:01 is entitled to her opinion.
