Save or Splurge: Wearing Feathers

By -

If you hadn't noticed, there is a bit of a feather theme this week on FMF. Feathers are showing up everywhere right now, and many of these pieces are lovely but very expensive. I'm developing a love for feathers. It's a new love though so I'm hesitant to invest much money in it.

For me, feathers are a save. Jael Paris showed us how to make inexpensive feather and shower puff headbands. Later this week, I'll show you the feather fascinators/barrettes I made.

This isn't to say a fabulous feather hat or other feather trim pieces aren't worth the money. I think they are. This versitle beret with a fun feather decoration from Baroque and Roll on Etsy is well worth the $46. However, when money is tight, feathers can be a great accessory to get on the cheap.

Are feathers a save or splurge for you?

Feathers are a save for me. I love them, but full on feather clothes are expensive and hard to clean.

I've always been a bit worried about pulling the feather look off but after the golden autumn burberry feather dress was created I'm just waiting for the high street equivelent to give it a go because it turns the shape of the dress into a feathered fantasy wonder!

Save. I wouldn't mind having a couple little pins or clippies to put in my hair or on my clothes.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
