Screamer of the Week: "Artistic" Jacket from Coldwater Creek

Coldwater Creek has its ups and downs. Some of their outfits are downright frightening, while some are tasteful but shout, "Woman of a certain age." Other times they have cool stuff, which is why I prefer the store to the catalog (I have a hot pink suede jacket from there that is truly rock star).

Today is Wednesday, Screamer of the Week day, which means it's not one of those times. For just about a hundred bucks you too can look like a bad painting in your local pizza place if you buy this printed paradise jacket. It's a linen blend that claims to be machine washable, which I can't even imagine-- the print is bad enough but it's going to look even worse if it flakes off in the wash. Forget it-- I can go to Russillo's and buy a painting like this off the wall for under $30, and have money left over for a pizza party.

Note on the contest from last week's Screamer: the origin of the phrase "Screamer of the Week" can also be found by googling. One more hint: think radio.
