I would've been quite jealous of your feathers, I have curly hair so can't do layers, any attempt at them has resulted in a verandah

Ski vests were soooo popular..do remember the winter jackets that had the sleeves zipper out so it could then be turned into a ski vest? I remember pitching a fit in a store for one of those..it was blue...lol..I didn't get it but I got brown one at Christmas
