Carrying Summer Clothing into Fall

The summer heat is on! Odd Bird is not quite ready to get into Fall just yet….as she still wants to enjoy the hot & humid weather for a while more.
Check out some of Odd Bird's printed Summer attire, this time being modelled on an actual human (rather then the usual mannekin) and accessorized with pieces from the store's members.
When the economy's tight many customers want clothing that can be carried into the next season. But they are usually unsure how to do it. Its surprisingly easy to build up an outfit to wear into another season. Don't be discouraged by colour either: if you love pink & it suits you why not wear it all year round? Don't think that's its just for one season like Spring! The trick is accessorizing & layering to either pump up or tone down the outfit for the season or occasion.
So the first outfit is for wearing during the summer weather & the second outfit is layered up a little for the transition into the cooler weather as Fall approaches.

The latest Odd Bird summer offering: the Rose & Scissors T-dress! Here it is worn with a resin ring & vintage rose necklace. Isn’t that outfit adorable with those polka-dot shoes?
Here's how it can be worn for cooler weather or for a more business-casual look: Mohair shrug, tights, chunky necklace & Damask bag.
The Bunny T-dress, worn with a shell-disc necklace & resin ring....barefoot for fun-in-the-Sun time by the pool or at the beach!
Then toned down with accessories in shades of black, white & grey: Sweater shrug, argyle socks & daintier necklace. What a cute outfit for Back-to-School!
The Songbird Pocket Tunic/Babydoll dress worn with bold & bright necklace & earrings. The jewellery isn’t exactly a matching set but look how nice they compliment both each other & the print on the dress!
Who says you cant wear white after Labor Day?
Now the dress is worn over cropped pants with tall boots & a chunky chain necklace. We used a teal coloured sweater shrug here to keep the outfit bright & fun....but if you wanted to tone it down then obviously a darker shrug would be worn instead.

Summer Scarves

Scarves aren't just for cold weather...they are great for wearing while walking along breezy lakes & oceans or inside over air-conditioned buildings during the summer months too. We have some lightweight jersey cotton ones with fun prints by Odd Bird at the moment.

A Dress Some"Bunny" Will Love!


Some times in the summer months ladies aren't into the frilly/
fancy dress thing but still would like to wear something thats well...still girly! But also comfortable in the hot weather. A t-shirt dress can be the answer to that dilemma....and Odd Bird has just the thing as part of the Summer offering. It may be a basic cotton t-dress but it has the sweetest Bunny image printed on it!

But this dress doesn't have to be just for Summer, you can carry it into Fall by wearing it with darker coloured leggings, jeans, sweaters etc. Then in the Spring with lighter & brighter acessories. And this dress looks nice when worn with a belt too.

If you look closer at the fabric you'll notice that it is ash grey woven with Sea Foam green...another detail that makes this dress simple & sweet!

Oh Baby (doll) !

Summer's almost here!
Time to start breaking out all the warm weather wear....
And what's perfect for summer?
The new Babydoll tops from Odd Bird ! Just arrived in the store, they are a stretchy "One-Size-Fits-Most" style & made from a light knit 50/50 gauze material that makes them slightly see-thru...however they are meant to be layered over something like a tank top or long sleeved shirt unless you are feeling particularly daring, haha!

These babydolls also work as great bathing suit cover-ups at the beach or pool too....oh and did we mention they are super flirty too?

You may have a hard time deciding on one because there's 2 babydolls to choose from:


A pair of scissors are clipping a rose on the poppy pink babydoll....


The rose is the ultimate flower for the warm season...why not wear it proudly all summer long?


"Know Your Bird Parts" is printed on the denim blue babydoll....

This kind of information might come in handy if your ever on a Quiz Show!
