Fringe Benefits

Photobucket

I'm a little bit obsessed with fringe lately. I have been looking for a leather fringed bag for about a month and actually stumbled upon a waist bag at a thrift shop for..you guessed it..$2! It was perfect and matched my Kenneth Cole shoes perfectly which made it a great work outfit since the outfit is devoid of any denim or "crazy" colors. The great thing with thrifted and vintage pieces is that you do not have to worry about looking like you are in a sea of Amercrombie and Hollister clones at a party (Not that I have anything against those brands..they do make some nice pieces). The black suede boots I actually picked up a couple years ago on sale for $10- they are the comfiest things ever!

I went through the "fringe" phase a few months ago. I had featured a lot of people with fringed boots and bags on the blog. I really like the trend and find it easy to carry.
