Feathered Footwear!

Fall's feathers have made their way from head (recall this CC post from July!) to toe! For those who are "balking" at the trend, feathered footwear may just be the perfect way to ease in to the bird-brained scheme! Plus, it doesn't get more fanciful and glamorous than a plumed pump, right?

Are you DOWN with this trend, darlings??

    It's funny that the NYT and the NY'er had the same birdcage idea!

    Gorgeous shoes. For those who can't afford the shoes (or those who are afraid the feathers on the shoes will be ruined with a lot of wear and tear), one good option would be the Marciano feather belt I featured in this old post.

    i don't really care for aggy either.
    i'm going to do a post about her soon.
    she doesn't seem that special to me.

    i wonder if those shoes are ticklish.

    I don't think I am fanciful enough to go full on bird on my foot, but I like the ones with nice little touches of feathers. <3

    Feathered heels are so chic - I want a pair I can swan around in at home with an expensive silk robe and limitless expensive champagne.

    allow me to have some occasions to wear these show stoppers. I would try all of them. I wouldn't wear any fancy clothes. just go with plain dresses. they will do. Oh beauties.

    Ooh, this evokes such conflicting thoughts! Realistically this trend should be an absolute 'NO GO' but for some reason the Givenchy's and ONLY the givenchy's have made me doubt this. Maybe subtlety is the key? In which case they are magnificent ;)

    I love my shoes but I don't like them to look like birds. I am not into this look. It isn't for me.
