Throwback Thursday: Who Is the Real Ostrich?

I LOL’d this morning when I noticed that my designing friend Stacy Lomman Instagrammed a photo of me in which I’m wearing her faux ostrich jacket while hanging out with a friend in South Africa last year. I thought her captions were really helpful.

This jacket always gets so much attention, and, sometimes, uninvited stroking. It’s also more versatile than you might think. It’s the only jacket I brought along on my South African trip. I wore it on the plane, on the ostrich farm, out to dinner — pretty much everywhere except on safari. I have a long, sleeveless, faux-ostrich vest too; you can see that here.
