It’s fun to link what we wear to the world we’re living in, so I’ve been browsing for pieces lately that play towards the themes or patterns I see all around me. I’d like to start with one of nature’s most exquisite themes: the peacock feather.

With peacock feathers the temptation is to focus on the bright jewel tones, but I love the wispy tendrils of soft brown that surround the color burst at its center. This stewart+brown wrap would have a similar effect when worn over a vivid top.

Bosworth-Tie.jpg Bright teal is found throughout the feather’s design, in bolder sections and simple outlines, it’s the color I wear most with a pair of peacock earrings I got at a local market recently. This keyhole dress from Kelly Barry captures the tone perfectly, and its feather-like frills are just enough to add some personality to a gorgeous (but comfortable!) piece.

This Loomstate dress captures the blending of purples at the heart of the feather perfectly! What a sweet way to get ready for spring.

I did find these enamel necklaces in a peacock-like pattern from Mata Traders on WorldofGood.com, along with one last peacock-inspired print in a perfectly comfortable (yet unique) t-shirt from stewart+brown.
