Fear of Feathers

Let's talk about trends you haven't been brave enough to try this year. It's the last week of 2015 and I'm in for truth telling. For me, it's feathers. I've had a difficult time picturing myself pulling off this trend without looking, well ridiculous. So today' I've picked out a couple of items that I think I could wear if I'm going to make this trend work for me.

Bloomingdale's, Lucy Paris Feather Trim Top, $88

I could totally pull this off for a party. It's funky and girly.

Lord & Taylor, Kensie Ostrich Feather Trimmed Jersey Sheath Dress, $71

See? We can do this. Understated. 

Express, White Ostrich Feather Fringe Mini, $99

Hello sassy. My goodness this is a statement maker.

Neiman Marcus Last Call, Design History Feather Fringe Knit Pullover, $75

With the right jewelry I would wear this to work. I think it's different and makes a statement.

What trends have you avoided this year? Anything you were nervous to try? Be brave!

A trend that I am really trying to get behind is feathers. At first I was all, yeah I prefer not to look like something on Sesame Street, and then I was like eh, these are kind of sassy. Maybe its been seeing all of the holiday bling and edgy dresses that makes me feel like maybe I could work this trend. Here are some of my picks.

Piperlime, Sabine Chiffon Feather Skirt, $79

See? We could totally pull this off. It reminds me of a flapper-style in the best possible way.

Bebe, Strapless Feather Waist Dress, $70

I love the details of this dress. The sweetheart neckline, the lace hemline and of course the feather waist.

Nine West, West Otay Sandal, $79

Don't these remind you of Carrie Bradshaw? Oh I just love these, they are fun without someone wondering if something has nested on your foot.

Nordstrom, Press Faux Feather Miniskirt, $99

A fun mini that is perfect for a night out with some killer heels. The shaggy texture is so different that the beige option above.

So truth time, I have yet to purchase a feather item but I really think I can get behind this trend. It's delicate and feminine while having a bit of a wild side.
