Feathered Friends

It is hardly news in the fashion world that feathers are an excellent accessory.  Embellished on dresses, hairpieces, belts, and even shoes, feathers are absolutely everywhere.  The question is, what is the easiest way to wear feathers in every day life without looking absurd?

My personal favorite way to get in on the feather trend is with hairpieces.

Some feather hairpieces are all about the headband, such as the one below.


This headband, which can be purchased at Forever 21, is simple and elegant.  The blue color makes it mildly flashy, but the feather is not overwhelming or costume-like.  Since the design is so simple, you could wear it with anything from a shift dress to jeans and a cute blouse.  The flexibility of headbands with feathers makes it impossible not to want one.  Unless of course, headbands aren't your thing.


For those who don't enjoy wearing headbands, hair clips such as the one pictured above can be a good way to use feathers with fashion.  This clip is relatively small, which is good because it means you can still do something with your hair.  Whether you're adding it to an up-do or pinning back some side bangs, this clip is a great way to use feathers without looking silly.  This clip is also found at Forever 21.

Of course, if hairpieces aren't for you, you could always go out like Ke$ha.


I'm certain that the peacocks found her coat to be lovely.
