Sleeping under Clouds

I bought this today at Macy's. It's freezing here! The winter season in this part of Oregon can be penetratingly damp to the bone. This comforter is "almost down" by Calvin Klein - Khaki collection. I was afraid that I would be allergic to a real down comforter, so I bought this and it's soooo soft and inviting. Sweet dreams for half price... like sleeping under clouds. Maybe I will be in a good mood when I wake up tomorrow, ya think?
