| OK, I know there is only one feather in this picture and not a lot of clothes, but I couldn't help myself! |
In honor of Thanksgiving and it's conspicuous turkey mascot, I thought it might be fun to explore feathers in fashion. Feathers as a fashion accessory go back probably till the beginning of time. They are beautiful and intricate on their own. Once added to an ensemble, they transform the overall look instantaneously. I believe that they either make a serious outfit more dramatic, or they can make a fun outfit more playful. They enhance, soften and elevate.

I think, because of passing fads or trends, sometimes feathers get a bad rap. But I feel it's important not to overlook them or brush them aside. They can be a powerful fashion ally!

ReplyDeleteSo, time to watch Gigi again! I never would have said that I love feathers in fashion, but I actually do LOVE feathers in fashion. You are such an inspiration--if only my budget allowed for me to indulge in all (or even any) of the fabulous fashions you present!
