My gorgeous friend Alyssa, who is an excellent cook, invited a bunch of us wimmins over for a fabulous dinner at her apartment last night.\u00a0 Of course, I asked designer<\/a>\/blogger<\/a>\/stylist<\/a> Stacy Lomman what I should wear. I let her make all my outfit decisions lately, even for casual occasions. I prefer her taste to my own! She instructed me to wear her faux-ostrich-feather chubby jacket. It’s the shorter, plumper sibling of the floor-length, faux-ostrich-feather vest that I wore to the Fashion Group International Rising Star Awards last week<\/a>. I had my eye on this jacket ever since Stacy showed it in February 2012<\/a>. She picked out the rest of the outfit too.<\/p>\n

\"fuzzyjacket\"What Wendy Wore to Dinner<\/strong>
\nJacket:<\/strong> Stacy Lomman Fall 2012 collection (acquired 2013)<\/em>
\nTop:<\/strong> “Pillow sweater<\/a>” by Dsquared (2012)<\/em>
\nJeans:<\/strong> Acne (2007)<\/em>
\nBoots:<\/strong>\u00a0C\u00e9line (2012)<\/em>
\nJewelry:<\/strong> All my own designs, including the new “Screw You<\/a>” studs in gold<\/em><\/p>\n

Here’s a view of the boots’ heel. I feel very Mod in these.<\/p>\n

Everyone at dinner enjoyed petting the jacket. Alyssa has called dibs on the almost-finished one that Stacy has on her dress form, but I believe there’s a some fabric left, so if you want your own custom faux-ostrich piece, get in touch with Stacy ASAP through her website<\/a>. The jacket is nice and warm; the sweater I wore under it is short-sleeved, and I felt fine even though it was in the low 20s outside.<\/p>\n

Over dinner, Alyssa regaled us with some old online dating stories, including one about a guy who greeted her with, “You’re really beautiful.\u00a0 Do you drive a stick shift?” What an odd thing to say! Stacy declared that the only appropriate answer would have been another non sequitur: “No, but I like oranges.” I think that’s an excellent response. I may use it to answer random questions that have nothing to do with citrus fruit. I don’t want to waste a perfectly good non sequitur. If anyone actually asks me about citrus, however, I will not tell a lie: I prefer grapefruit.<\/p>\n
