I love how playful this top is, and after trying to pair it with multiple skirts and pants, a sleek pencil skirt was the perfect balance to its fullness. These photos were snapped in Downtown Santa Ana (like this post and this post), and I felt like this was another Carrie Bradshaw-inspired outfit. Can’t you see her in this the season she had long straight hair?
This top is definitely a conversation piece, and the feathers reminded me of birds which reminded me of one of my favorite Portlandia skits, Put a Bird on It. I mean… so good. Other favorites would be Is the Chicken Local and Get the Gear. If you have a favorite Portlandia skit, please share in the comments!

Where would you wear a feathered top? I mean… you’ve got to say party because when you put on something with feathers, it’s game time.

Portlandia… is everything (insert praise hands emoji).
That top is AMAZING on you!!! If I knew I wouldn’t look like a big ole hippo in it, I would surely order this and save it for the Holidays!!!
Please – you could NEVER look like a hippo you’re crazy!
I love feathers, and this look is amazing! I agree, it’s definitely a party top!

You look stunning! Are the feathers itchy at all? Love it, regardless!

I don’t find them itchy! They’re just on the front – not on the back. 🙂

I couldn’t do feathers but you look like perfection in this outfit!

Thanks so much for showing us your beautiful and real sides! And my real I mean putting your shirt on backwards (and showing us)! We in the cubical land appreciate the laughs! I went to work one day with one earring on….whoops!
And I have to say you do an amazing job being versatile in your photo shoots! I always look forward to seeing what you’ve come up with next. Keep up the good work!
Wow!
I don’t think I’d have the courage, but this is seriously SATC, cocktail hour, dirty martini in Manhattan fabulous.
It looks perfect with the skirt – almost like a dress.
Well played, girl, well played!
You know you could pull it off, gf!! #youdoyou

I was just wondering how small this top runs. What size did you order versus your normal size? I normally wear a small/size 4 top. Just wondering if I’ll feel like I’m being squeezed to death if I order a 4!?
Thanks!
I ordered my normal size and found it fitted but not too tight, so it depends on the fit you’re looking for. If you prefer it not fitted, I would size up.
