Portland, Oregon has never been known as a fashion capital, but the folks at “Portlandia” must have been on to something. Who would have thought that “put a bird on it” would have such couturian appeal. This is what I’ve seen on the fashion runways for spring, 2012:
Carolina Herrera 
Marc Jacobs
Kenzo 
Then I noticed that Emma One Sock has a new flock of birds to choose from:
I love watching birds. I love early March in Portland when the snowbirds return from their well-deserved hiatus in Mexico. I love waking up to the cooing and chirping sounds of birds, like a natural alarm clock, gently pushing me out of bed. But honestly, I don’t want to wear them. I know it’s a matter of taste and style, but birds on my body just aren’t going to fly 
.
So enjoy the new spring trends everyone, and if you really want to, put a bird on it!
I am a mother, wife, teacher, sewist, and learner. This blog started as a sewing blog, but I quickly realized that I have many interests that I would like to express here, hence the name change. Mostly, though, it's about sewing.
I thought the birds on the garments for Spring 2012 was interesting too but like you I don’t want to wear them!
Another who enjoys waking up with the birds chirping, but wearing them, no!
We’ve just got Portlandia here and it’s a real scream. I am happy to view real birds and not wear them. Cheers.
I love birds, too. And I like that my name is that of a bird. But, I am with you – not wearing them!
