Fall Into Fringe

Towards the end of  last year, I started getting a random itch to wear all things fringe. I didn't follow up on it and I find that 8 months later, the itch is still there.  As Fall approaches, I think I will listen to the urge and fall into fringe (see what I did there).

BELIEVE

I like this hat.  I mostly just like the message. But however it comes, it still gets my point across.

Wild for Animal Prints

Of the many things I love, somehow, this summer animal prints have found themselves near the top of the list. I especially love pairing them with bold colors. Here are a couple of ways I've mixed and matched them this summer and a couple of ways I hope to try out in the near future.

I'm bringing fanny (packs) back...

This summer it's been too hot to carry around much more than is necessary and that includes a handbag of any sort.  I've been roughing it with a wristlet all summer but even that has its drawbacks, as my hands are always full with the things that won't fit into my wristlet.  So I've decided to bring fanny packs back. Go ahead and laugh and while you're huge handbag is causing you to sweat through your silk blouse or you're constantly dropping and losing important items, I'll be light as a feather and free as a bird with my fanny pack.

Overall overalls

Since style has been on my mind a lot lately, I've decided to share some of my other style thoughts I am considering acting upon.  At some point earlier this summer, I decided I wanted a pair of denim overalls.  I've looked high and low and in thrift stores galore but I have yet to find a pair.  I've gotten close, with a few, "We just had a pair last week but we sold them.", stories but alas, no cigar.  I've already styled them in my head, I just need to find the perfect pair.  Here are a few ways in which I intend to wear them.

Wrangler

Yesterday while I was wandering around (not lost, just wandering. *cue Adele's 'Hometown Glory'*), I had one of many fleeting style thoughts in which I come up with quirky style/fashion ideas.  These "style thoughts" occur randomly as I'm out and about. Sometimes I act on them and sometimes I don't.  The last time I acted on one of these thoughts, I started wearing bow ties. Well, yesterday's thought involved Wrangler denim.  I quickly googled Wrangler to see if they are still manufactured and to my surprise, I found that Wranglers are actually a cool thing these days.  I guess what I thought was an original style idea, was not, and I am, in fact, late to the Wrangler party.
