Growing up with my only sister being 16 years younger than me, there are some typical "little girl" things I missed out on. I don't know how to double dutch, I still can't successfully cartwheel (although this may be due to a complete lack of balance and coordination), and I never learned how to really braid. So today, when I got these new silver feather earrings in the mail from Etsy shop Crystal Mountain Jewelry, I knew it was time to use youtube tutorials to conquer the dreaded fishtail braid. As it turns out it's relatively simple, although probably best done on wet hair. While the overall effect of the earrings and braid together might come off a bit middle school art teacher, both of these will definitely be on high rotation in the upcoming months. I'm also thinking of wearing just one feather with a stud in the other ear, or maybe even two on the same ear... the possibilities with these are sort of endless.
