Charming Chic

3/27/2014

Spring 2014 is giving us an all new twist to trends of the past. When it comes to fashion, what goes around comes around. According to Fendi and Proenza Schouler, embellished attire is back! Meaning we can decorate our closets adorned in pearls, lace, sequins, diamonds, and other frivolous jewels and gems.  For some (me included), It’s hard to think of embellishments without the thought of your third grade teacher’s Holiday sweaters, but those days are in the past. Modern embellishment is all about contrast. As flashy as some embellishments may be, there are easy tricks and tips to pulling this look off without crossing the line from classy to tacky. The first key is figuring out how to use embellishments as accents as opposed to the central piece of your outfit, much like how you would do with jewelry. Secondly, CONTRAST. The purpose of embellishments is to give a  feminine effect. Use the dazzle to tone down leather and outfits with masculine silhouettes. The most important thing to know is: DON’T OVERDO IT.  Who needs jewelry and dramatic makeup when you’re outfit is already equipped with all you need to stand out? But as we all know, there are no definite rules to fashion besides be yourself, and these dazzling add-on's give you the opportunity to rock it your way . Whether you want to make a bold statement, or a subtle appearance. This trend will allow you to do just that, making it a perfect look to experiment with. 

Thrift Tip: Your local thrift store or vintage shop is your best friend when it comes to looking for your sparkly pieces. They tend to be the easiest to look for because they can be found in every size, color, and category. It’s almost certain you’ll leave out your favorite thrift store with one or more embellished apparel.
