I've mentioned in an earlier post my ridiculous obsession with fringe. But just in case you didn't get a chance to see it and aren't aware: I AM OBSESSED WITH FRINGE.
Good. Glad we established that. Now you can fully comprehend just how much my world was rocked when I stumbled upon this vendor on etsy the other day:

Pretty magnifique, eh? This lady has a HUGE collection of vintage fringed articles (mostly all from the 60's and 70's).
Now, just on their own, they might look a little...outdated hippie...ish. But the way she styled them, ah, it is perfection. I love all the accessories, the model's hair, everything. Totally makes them modern and edgy.

I whip my fringe back and and forth. This vest has a kind of tribal feel to it that I love.

Modern gypsy woman. LOVE the pattern on this. And I'm pretty sure it's a raised, embossed velvet, which just makes it that much more amazing.

If angels designed a fringed garment, this would be it.

Love this Oriental pattern. And I like how the fringe is more bulky like tassels.

So elegant. This reminds me of a willow tree.

Another gorgeous oriental pattern.

This is probably my favorite complete look. I am gaga for the shoes and the fedora. It works perfectly with this delicate, fringe shift dress. Muah!!
I definitely need to get me some fringe or I'm seriously going to lose it.
I love the first (green) and last best. Such great styling... i might need to figure some fringe into my own wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteoooh! loving these pieces, but full disclosure, I'm completely outdated and hippie...ish!!
ReplyDeleteI'm crying with how sad it is that I don't have enough fringe in my wardrobe AND how expensive fringe articles of clothing are!! What the ef!?
ReplyDeleteI'll buy a How to Make Fringe for Dummies book and save bucket loads creating my own fabulous fringe items! Ha. In yo face, capitalism.
