Trend Alert: The Double F: Fringe & Feathers

HEY GUYS! So after a short pause from blogging over the summer, I am back (hopefully for good)!
     I have been dying to write this post because it is one of my favorite summer/fall trends (it is slightly delayed since I was planning on writing it before the summer, but hey better late than never). I'm sure you have seen these trends all over the beaches and now in the school hallways. I decided I'd put them together in the same blog post because they go hand in hand, both with a very earth, boho vibe to them. Introducing:

FRINGE & FEATHERS
Look 1: 


Obviously I had to incorporate Minnetonka boots, they are the epitome of fringe. I honestly don't think it would be far fetched to say that they began the fringe trend two years ago when they first became a big deal. This is a pretty basic outfit which only means one thing: Accessorizing is KEY! 

(I would like to note that all the accessories match, the blue in the necklace and the bracelet match, and the continuous gold ties it all together)  


Look 2:
I must admit I borrowed the idea for this outfit from an outfit worn in a fashion show I was in over the weekend. I can't help it, this ensemble is so cute I almost keeled over (the weakness of the fashion obsessed...) when the girl walked down the runway. The earrings both match the shoe, and you get bonus points for wearing another huge trend: color blocking (on your feet). The earrings completely transform this outfit (obviously it looks better on)
its insane what accessories can do.


Look 3:
This is a good way to fake feather hair extensions, without actually getting them. This headband is fool proof, and very stylish. When paired with a simple outfit the headband acts as the statement piece of the outfit.
I broke this outfit into two different sides. The first side features boyfriend jeans which should be worn with a type of flat. The second side features skinny jeans which can be worn with anything (for the purposes of this outfit a pair of booties or boots). I absolutely love this fringe vest and it will be the complete focal point of this outfit!
