Birds of a Feather

Fashion is feather friendly for Spring 2009! This fun trend was seen all over the Spring runways, but on gowns and outfits that definitely aren't for everyday wear. But designers have altered the look into wearable, affordable looks that anyone can rock. You can find flighty accessories like headbands and hair clips, necklaces and earrings, or even decorating hems of fancy dresses. Some designers are making metal shaped feather earrings & necklaces & shirts with pictures of feathers. So if you're unsure of clipping feathers in your hair, that can be a safer way to go. What a fantastic way to say adieu to cold Winter months than to resemble our feathered friends of Spring! Let's take a peek at some of the looks...
