Birds of a Feather

by Emily

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.

1. Tribal Feather Choker, Forever 21: $8.80.
2. Feather Hem Dress, Forever 21: $27.80.
3. Feather Printed Cami, Rozae Nichols: $225.
4. Cut Out Heather Hinge Bracelet, Urban Outfitters: $24.
5. Dapple Feather Headband, Fred Flare: $32.
6. Bo Feather Print Dress, Zimmermann: $550.
7. Sheer Feather Top, Wet Seal: $19.50.
8. Feather Print Padded Bra, Top Shop: $12.

EDIT: Also be sure to check out my prom picture that was featured on Smitten (I swear that body jewelry was all the rage back in 2001).

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!

Fab post, and very informative. I love that head piece…

I want a feather skirt:D and a headband:D

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’m a little in love with the feather choker…would be the perfect embellishment for an otherwise plain outfit…

8 Luphia { 02.10.09 at 8:14 am }

love everything here, especially the bracelet and how fabulous is the hair band!

ps, you looked so cute in your prom photos!

9 valerie { 02.10.09 at 8:23 am }

all about that tank. p.s. your prom pics made me laugh…star shaped accessories from Claire’s or Icing were so cool.

10 Kristina { 02.10.09 at 9:08 am }

I like feathers in small doses, and these are all beautiful!

11 sharon rose { 02.10.09 at 9:41 am }

Hi there-the black dress is soo gorgeous, lovely picks my dear!

12 Sweet Nothings { 02.10.09 at 10:03 am }

I have been debating that black dress for a while

and don’t worry, I had the heart crystal on for a homecoming dance too..ON MY SHOULDER.

I’ve been contemplating purchasing that Dappled Feather Headband from Fred Flare for weeks – it’s gorgeous and conjures up visions of a 1920′s flapper!

17 Michelle { 02.10.09 at 12:45 pm }

I want the bracelet!

18 Couture Carrie { 02.10.09 at 12:47 pm }

I love the top with the feather prints!

21 S.Elisabeth { 02.10.09 at 2:18 pm }

I love the pattern more than as embellishments… That bracelet is to die for

22 Bella { 02.10.09 at 2:20 pm }

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

I’m quite obsessed with feathers. I collect them in earrings. Lovely post.

24 janettaylor { 02.10.09 at 2:48 pm }

OMG! I love 3. and 7.

Great post!

Have a great day and kisses: Janet

25 Dallas { 02.10.09 at 3:24 pm }

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?

26 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 02.10.09 at 3:52 pm }

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

27 Megan { 02.10.09 at 4:01 pm }

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!

28 style crusader { 02.10.09 at 6:16 pm }

I wonder what that F21 dress looks like in person, I noticed it on the site and thought it looked so cute! Great picks

32 Katie { 02.10.09 at 7:26 pm }

I remember all that ‘body jewelry’ hahaha… I remember myself wearing a shooting star motif on the back of my shoulder for a homecoming (lovely)….I’m half embarrased I just admitted that!

33 Lilith { 02.10.09 at 8:30 pm }

i love the hinge bracelet from urban outfitters.

34 Austere { 02.10.09 at 8:31 pm }

My dreamy outfit: Dress n° 6 with bracelet n°4!!
I remember wearing that kind of body jewelry when I was 19! I Wore a shiny butterfly on my neck!

36 Budget Babe { 02.11.09 at 3:12 pm }

i can not believe that feathered top is from wet seal! i saw it, loved it, and figured it would cost a small fortune–but it doesn’t. that made my day

37 Design Lovely { 02.11.09 at 7:45 pm }

What a great collection! Nice blog!

38 rachel { 02.11.09 at 8:22 pm }

speaking of feathers, have you seen those slips with the ostrich feathers at the end? they’re made to peek out under an LBD. (http://yourslipisshowing.com)

39 Feather { 02.11.09 at 9:51 pm }

That top is so pretty…and you know I love this topic, missy;) xx
