Ok, now that you have your earrings and your rockin this hot trend, what about taking care of them?

Whatever you do DO NOT wash the feathers in water. Washing the feathers in water will ruin their shape, and take the fluffiness away. I use to use a fluffy blush brush and just swipe it on the feathers when I use to wear those roach clip ones back in the day. And it seemed like it worked and kept the feathers clean and lively looking again.
