"  They say feathers are `in&amp;#039; right now. And they may be right, because for several seasons, both on and off the runway, we&amp;#039;ve seen them affixed to cocktail hats, trimming sandals (flat and stiletto-ed), and filling out the bottom half of practically every party dress on the 5F. They&amp;#039;ve gone Victorian on Lady GaGa, delicate on Katy Perry, and indescribably chic on Leigh Lezark. And perhaps most telling of all is that from Bebe to Alice + Olivia to Jason Wu, items befeathered run the full length of the price point gamut. Lately, though, I&amp;#039;ve seen some odd bird accessories that make me wonder, even for the feather lover crowd, is this &amp;quot;trend&amp;quot; not getting out of hand?  A headdress certainly isn&amp;#039;t as pedestrian as a headband, but unless you look like a model who looks sorta like Pocahontas, is this really in the best interest of your overall look? What about a plumed cuff? Or a gauzy tee with detachable, pointy feather epaulets? To each their own, I suppose, but as far as I&amp;#039;m concerned the dour expression on the girl in the mask pretty well sums things up.
