My name is Erin Weinger and I am a fringe-oholic.
Its true–I like anything adorned with strips of flighty fabric that makes me feel like a flapper as I move.
But last spring, after wearing my favorite black fringe tank top to the point of disgust, I decided to retire my oh-so-favorite trend.
Until today that is.
Earlier, while trolling Style.com and eating Pad Thai, I came across Alexandra Kotur’s latest weekly best dressed list. And there in the number three spot was fashion heiress Margherita Missoni, clad in a gown of red fringed glory.
For the September 28th AmfAR gala in Milan, Missoni (wearing Missoni, natch) paired the standout piece with minimal diamond accessories that made for a modern, elegant look. Anything heavier and the outfit would have crossed fringe’s fine line into Halloween costume territory.
So I figure if Missoni can live the beautiful life in head-to-toe fringe, I can live my not-quite-as-beautiful life in flouncy goods again, too. Perhaps my fringe will help gussy up my day-to-day existence.
Right? Are you wearing fringe now or saving it for later? Opinions, please.
