Spring and Summer 2011 have gone wild, drawing inspirations from the animal kingdom in the form of animal prints and, yes, feathers!
Feathers are flashy and fun, and can add a touch of boho hippie chic or rocker edge to your ensemble!
No matter your age, style, taste, or budget, you can find a way to become a “feathered friend” by working hints of them into your wardrobe here and there.
Feathers are making appearance on shoes, handbags, and even headbands and fascinators!
So where do you start? Here’s some ideas… Peacock colors are all the rage right now – and peacock feathers can add an elegant, artsy touch to your look. Feather earrings and feather hair extensions are super hot at the moment, and, if you’re not all that bold, consider a straw hat with a feather on the band. If the real thing isn’t doing it for you, why not try a dress with a feather print, or a piece of jewelry made in the shape of a feather? There’s also the bird-print trend as seen on Michelle Williams.
So, tell us, will you be caught rocking some fair weather feathers this summer?
