And so begins the first post in my series of letting you know what’s on trend and how/if you should work it into your closet.

*Cracks knuckles* here we go…

Recently while shopping for next weeks featured trendy item (Ooo you’ll have to come back to see what it is!) I noticed there was a whole lot of fringe going on.

I’m going to come right out and say that it’s a turn off for me, however, if worn properly it can be cute and add great movement/visualization to your look.

A bikini with the fringe on top (sing it Oklahoma style) can even add volume riiiieeght where you need it *ifyaknowwhatimean.

If you are going to go with the sway and swoosh in other non-water resistant outfits, keep your jewelry understated especially if the fringe is on the bottom of something with a pattern. I would pair this kind of thing with mostly earrings seeing as how any kind of necklace would be too much movement going on. Even a statement necklace would be overkill (in my book). If you just can’t hold back with a necklace, then layer a few that have thin chains.

Fringe on your shoes could be super cute, but again keep everything else understated and let them be the highlight of the outfit. I would most certainly stay away from doubling up on fringe. Unless you were getting ready to attend FringeFest 2015 (which, come to think of it, is better known as Bonaroo). ;)
