It seems like Elizabeth & James’ feather-y sweater enjoys a glorious moment in the blogosphere (or much more: quite a successful strategy). And I must admit; that sweater is not your regular knitwear piece!
Elegant, flamboyant and far away from anything basic. I obviously love that!
There’s nothing better than an unexpected (feather or fur) twist to a basic pullover, making it appropriate for outfits day to night. And though the price tag is quite another topic, I believe in silly moments and investments into statement pieces now and then.
Just recently, I realized how good feather(-y) details can look in general – if dosed in the right way and not overloaded during day-time.
Feathers add that chic twist to a look, which only requires a good sense of balance in order to not be over-styled. It’s probably that swinging dynamic, which differentiates feathers from other embellishments. No shine, no bling, no heavy materials – just an understated but well placed way of adding a decisive statement to a look.
While I’m keeping myself quite busy with my work life at the moment and outfit posts have not been on my agenda at all (I miss that though), I leave this post with my favourite feather options and looks. :)
