Birds of a Feather...

This spring and summer I have really liked clothes with birds on them whether it is a shirt, dress, or jewelry. Birds also make me think back to the literature classes that I have had where we have had to read books, short stories, poems, etc. and know the symbolism that occurs in the books (I had two classes like this in high school). Birds in general, typically symbolize freedom. Often times, since they are not earth bound creatures, they are used to represent something between the psychical world and the spiritual world. You don't have to look at the big picture though, individual types of birds also have their own symbolism. One of my favorites is that the crane symbolizes longevity and health. Another is that the eagle symbolizes protection.
I have put together a few outfits that feature birds that I really like.

I LOVE the bird rings that I have paired with the first two outfits. The first ring is so simple but I think it is so beautiful. The second ring is so bright and cheerful that I adore it. I think the shirt with the parrots on it is such a pretty color and the parrots are sitting so that they kind of form a heart! The shoes that I have paired with the dresses are such vibrant colors that I find them simply dazzling and the dresses are so cute! Which items do you like the best?
