Frivolous, Furry, and Faux: Meet My New Throw

This is, perhaps, the most frivolous item I’ve ever purchased. Last weekend, during one of the many after-Thanksgiving sales, I bought an Espresso “Faux-Fur Throw” from Pottery Barn. Just had to have it. Here are the details:

Soft and plush, our faux-fur throws are irresistible. The espresso, ivory and gray fog throws have a channel cut reminiscent of vintage mink coats; the frosted taupe has variegated coloring and a uniform plush hand. Dry-clean. 50 x 60". Imported.

It might be frivolous, but you can’t tell me it’s not practical. This thing is keeping me snuggly and warm in these quickly-approaching-below-zero temperatures. Plus it just feels so furry and luxurious, but in a faux, animal-friendly sort of way.

Plus I got an awesome discount on it. I couldn't resist. And I figure it will last a lifetime.
