Birds of a Feather

February 10th, 2009

Feathers elicit light and airy thoughts, so it’s only natural that they’ve found their way into the wardrobes of women.  Whether it’s a whimsical trim on a LBD or a multi-colored bra to peek out of sheer tops, these are just a few of the pieces that have me floating on air.

    the printed cami is so pretttyyyyy :)

    ditto on what andhari said….. but it is soo far out of my price range for a cami… for any single item of clothing really!

    That feather hem dress gives me an idea. There’s a company that makes gorgeous embellished slips that are meant to peek out from under your dress … but they’re $200-$300. That dress could serve the same purpose for a tenth of the price!

    You looked SMASHING in your prom photos my dear! And yes, I remember that body jewelry–I think we must be the same age because I remember the exact same thing being HUGE at my prom!

    I really can’t believe the feather choker (it’s so lovely) is from F21. They really surprise me sometimes.

    i just saw a slip somewhere, with feathers on the bottom. you put it under your dress, and then, the feathers stick out just a hint. Maybe the black dress from 21 will do the job? if not i’m scooping the slip up>isn’t that a great idea?

    I’m still tempted by those feather headbands. I’ve never stopped wanting one since I first saw one on the evil Kenley.

    I love that feather printed cami! It’s so different from the kinds of things I’m normally drawn to but I just can’t stop looking at this. Gorgeous!
