I’m heading to the Sasquatch Music Festival this Memorial Day weekend. As the semester winds down, my thoughts turn to gathering provisions. Tent, check. Cooler, check. Sunscreen, on the list. Accessories? Oh.
At last year’s Sasquatch, I couldn’t help but notice a flock of stylish hair feathers. I dig the feathers, but earrings are more my jam. And I must be in good company: a recent search on etsy for “feather earrings” yielded 32, 745 results. Whoa. Does that mean there are a bunch of naked birds flying around out there?
Ok, granted, many of these earrings are feather in shape but not in material. But still. That’s a lot of options for one WanderChic.
I’m enchanted by the earrings in the photo above, from etsy seller PrettyVagrant.
For fun, I clicked on the “geekery” category. These Mix and Match Mario Earrings are cool (photo from etsy seller Retr8Bit), though not quite what I had in mind for the festival season.
Lady Kjek‘s cruelty free hand painted earrings, such as the ones below, are a little closer. (I like her specificity that “the feathers are clean and were shed naturally from a healthy cockatoo.”)
I have many weaknesses, some of which are documented on this blog. One of them is Big Lots. I zipped in there for some gift wrap, and ended up with a basket full of tape, Newman’s Own cookies, and these earrings below. I recognize that these look as though they could have come from the Big Lots pet department as well as jewelry. In fact, if I don’t move them off the table right now, cat toy is likely their destiny. They were four dollars and made in China. I’m not proud of this purchase.
I’d had a bad day, and I wanted to buoy myself up with thoughts of sweet music and overpriced corn dogs. These will tide me over until I make my final etsy selections.
What are your summer festival plans? What are your accessories of choice?
