Tag: On the Fringe

It’s the weekend that “traditionally” signifies the beginning of summer. Usually one full of BBQs, pool side looks, and sales- it has also traditionally been one of my favorites. The end of school, the feeling of new beginnings, and a reason to be in a bathing suit! This year? I can’t resist going a bit glam. I’ve had a thing for caftans this past year, and this one- the fringe! That color!- makes me feel like a movie star. Maybe I’m just having cocktails by my baby pool in the back yard, but I feel as if I’m ready for my close up on the French Riveria.

That’s the power of fringe and a great caftan.

It’s perfect for covering up, parties, and shaking yourself into the new season. It’s also incredibly comfy and incredibly flattering, and incredibly fun. I can’t think of anything else I would rather be wearing this “traditional” weekend.

(A note: this turban is from Muaves, and that’s not a commission able link! This is my second turban from them- they come in both silk and microfiber. I wear them after showers, by the water, any time I don’t feel like doing my hair. They’re incredibly chic and make my hair incredibly easy to deal with-10 of 10 stars!)

Need me this weekend? You can find me by the pool wearing this fringe caftan and hoping I come off as chic as it is! If you’re in the mood to shop sales, I’ll be doing that as well! I’ll be posting my picks and the things I find on my LiketoKnowit and ShopStyle profiles, the best way to shop along with me is to follow me in those apps!

I hope that this weekend is the start of “new” season for all of us full of success and fringe outfits that make us feel fresh. What are you wearing?

Fringe.
What do we really say about it? Fringe isn’t a trend per se, though there are seasons that offer us a bit more fringe than others. It’s not quite a classic, there are not numerous articles why you must own fringe, and often stylists will call fringe a “statement” not a “must”. So, what do we do with it? Avoid it? Put it in a box, and only wear it for certain things or costumes? Or, do we live on the fringe?

From boots to pants to jackets, I’m a fan of anything with a little personality, and fringe is personality. It shakes and shimmyies with you, and adds a bit of fun to anything you have going on. I think pops of fringe can be the wake up any outfit needs, and there’s fringe that can be chic and timeless. Fringe can be big or small, long or short, a lot or a little. Maybe the thing that scares us about fringe is that it can be anything we need it to be. That’s also the thing that makes fringe amazing.

I’m living on the fringe. What about you?

What I love about fringed pieces like this one is that they are so fun and full of life, but so chic. This jacket is by no means the only fringe I love, in my closet are fringed boots and fringed skirts, and I may or may not be looking for suede fringe pants. I like to think that the fringe lets the fun parts of my personality shine, and fits right in with the more classic pieces in my closet.

Also, fringe is just really fun to twirl in. Maybe not the strongest argument for living on the fringe, but one you’ll enjoy.

So, are you in? Ready to fringe with me?
I’ve linked similar pieces below, including these wide leg pants (that’s a whole other post, but believe me, you need wide legged pants!)
