Fringe with Benefits

We are constantly inundated with new trends, staying current with the next big thing, keeping up with what magazines suggest we purchase. It can be mind numbing, bank account draining and at times make us feel as though we are chasing after things that won't be around for the long haul.


I am guilty of all of the above. I like to stay current, try new styles, experiment with my wardrobe, but I try to be smart about it. I look for affordable pieces that won't leave me feeling guilty once the fast fashion hits the highway. 

At the same time, there are trends that are not actually trends at all. They come back around time and time again. Take for instance, fringe. The loose thread design has been around off and on for years. It seems to be popping back up by popular demand. I have seen countless items featured in the latest style magazines, especially bags. The bonus to adding this classic thread into your closet is that it can radiate a boho vibe for summer festivals, add a hint of sexiness for an evening out or reel you in for a day at the beach. See, fringe definitely has it's benefits.

Below are a few other fringe pieces that have caught my eye as of late.
