So huge in the fashion world right now - Owls!!! And I love 'em. I am so intrigued by their various designs. Because they are a feathered friend, featuring them as jewelry or on clothes automatically lends extra texture and pop to your look.
Apparently, Marc Jacobs is a big fan. I swiped this photo of a collection of his from a
fellow blogger:
I think the easiest way to incorporate an owl into your wardrobe is as an accessory. And as far as they go, Forever 21 - a favorite spot of mine to snag cheap, trendy jewelry - carries a host of Owl accoutrements.

I am dying to get my hands on this necklace,
but haven't found it in stores yet. If you do,
grab it for me. I'll pay you back!!! |

Charlotte Russe also offers some neat options.
I love this stand-out top by American Apparel (left) and covet this whimsical scarf (right) from
ModCloth.
I was curious and looked into as to why this foul may have suddenly wound up in the fashion world, but came up with no real answer. So, I looked into what symbolism lies behind owls in general. They often denote: wisdom, mystery, intelligence, and protection. One could have fun flaunting and/or embellishing on such characteristics. In fact, if you want to up the wisdom/intelligence factor, Forever 21 has this "Nerdy Owl Necklace," featuring Harry Potter like glasses. Not for me, but I could seen a brain-iac going for this piece. :)
Well, I hope you have enjoyed this small overview of owls in fashion. I am actually somewhat surprised at myself for how much I enjoy them. But, the more I allow myself to indulge in things that heretofore may have been unlikely candidates, the more delight I find in my wardrobe. Hope the same can be said for you!
