I Believe I Can Fly

I used to think that I could not go on
And life was nothing but an awful song
-- R. Kelly

I used to think that there was no way I would be able to get up and face the work week anymore until my friend Rorie got the idea to put feather extensions in her hair and request my help this Sunday. Rorie sent me this tutorial a while back, and we immediately became obsessed with feather extensions. I have always disliked most birds unless they are fat, cute birds, such as budgies or penguins, but I love the idea of feather extensions. And now I love them in reality. I was only going to put them in Rorie's hair but of course once I saw them gleaming in her hair, they ended up in my hair too. They were so easy; I can't wait to put more extensions in my hair.

Here are Rorie's; she is blessed with beautiful red hair ideal for feather extensions:

So pretty. It was incredibly difficult to stop putting them in our hair.

Here are mine:

 
I built this outfit around the concept of updated feathers, whatever that means "conceptually," in my mind. I wish my bag was more overtly navajo print. And by wish I mean I am probably going to order one online right now.
