What are you going to wear to that holiday party next week and the office party the week after? How many different little black dresses can a girl have in her closet? Well, let’s be serious. There is no limit if there is no limit with your budget, but we all know that is not the case. Why can’t you change it up and stretch out a few looks with accessories. Well the hottest and most fashionable trendy accessories this season is my pick of the week:  FEATHERS!

We all know that the way to really change and enhance your look is to do something creative and bold with your hair. We all have that Aunt that goes overboard during the Holidays with the “Updo” but at the same time you don’t want to have everyday hair at that special party or event. This season there are the perfect accessories for you to do just so. Just flip through any magazine and head accessories are everywhere. Head accessories are the perfect way to dress up or add a bit of trend to any outfit. That’s why the princess wears her tiara and the bride wears her headpiece. I mean Miss America never would go without something shiny and expensive pinned in her hair. So this holiday season a Feather accessory can really be the answer when you are looking for a way to tastefully stand out and look festive without wearing that neon sweater with sequin snowmen on them! It’s a quick and elegant solution to spice up your outfit with a touch of class and a hint of whimsical that makes you look like you just walked off the set of Gossip Girls.

This link from BEBE is chock full of ideas for Holiday ranging from $19 to $79. There is a hair accessory for everyone’s budget. You may even be inspired to wear a different dress after seeing some of these!

Another resource for feather headbands is my favorite. I love to support local artists all over the country. Etsy is that resource. (It is also a great place to showcase some of your own pieces if you have them!)

Will you be willing to give a feather accessory a try this season?
