FRINGE BENEFITS

The fringe trend comes and goes in cycles every so often.  About two cycles ago, I was NOT having it.  I firmly believed that fringe, in all its tan-suede and polyester glory, was to be left up to the cowboys and indians of old western movies…or maybe my next tap dance costume.  Four, five, or maybe even six years later, oh boy how the tables have turned…

I’M OBSESSED.

Fringe can be found on pretty much anything nowadays; from tops to bottoms to shoes to bags and everything in between.  It comes long, short, thick, thin, vertical, horizontal, ombre’d, crocheted…the list is endless.  What I really adore is the movement it creates; it’s sassy and diva-esque, but at the same time careless and free.  My heart kind of swells when I think of it (it’s a love affair).

Here are some pieces that I’m currently going nuts over (and must invest in soon if my wallet permits):
