FRISKY AND FABULOUS IN FEATHERS

Feathers are an eye-catching trendy embellishment that adds flare to your look.  The feather trend has been in style for a few years and continues to show on runways and on the celebrities.  While this is fashion forward, you can add subtle touches in earrings, belts, and heels.  Feathers at the hemline of a skirt are also a discrete way to rock this trend.  Go bolder in this look with feather skirts, tops, or dresses/gowns.  Feathers can add bulk to your look so be sure that the garment is steamed.  The amount of feathers on the bodice of the dress or skirt and how they are sewn on determines how big or robust the item looks on you.  A fitted blouse or top works well with a fuller feathered skirt.  I love the idea of mixing feathers with another bold item, such as a sequin printed jacket, to create visual interest.  Mixing textures and garment weights works well.

If actual feathers aren't your thing, wear feather printed garments.  Peacock feathers in bold turqoise and greens look great in winter and spring.
