Looking for something for New Year's Eve or just a fun night out with girls? From leather to fur, luxe fabrics have been everywhere this fall and winter. Try some feathers to really make your look take flight. Feathers can bring a whimsical and quirky feel to your overall look. The key to the trend is elegance, so stick with black or neutral colored feathers; it's not about the cheesy bright pink faux-feather boas or light pink powder puff looks. Seek out expensive looking feathers, with interesting patterns or subtle colors variations in dark feathers. Ostrich, peacock and marabou are some great ones to looks out for. Accessories like shoes, headbands and jewelry are an easy way to play with feathers. On clothing they can add some bulk so they're a great way to even out your figure. Need a little oomph on top? wear a feather vest or a feather adorned tee. Looking to add some curves to your hips? Try a feather duster mini skirt.
