Spring Fringe Trend

whezy — Sat, 07 Mar 2015 21:46:53 GMT

I am surprised QVC showed no fringed belts, shoes, bags, etc since it is such a big spring trend. On Lisa's new Fashion Trends Blog, she is showing lots of fringe for Spring. I liked all the items but would not wear some of them as they would not be age appropriate for my old bones. But I did like the jewelry, bag and shoes. It is different.

I'm not nuts about fringe on clothing and purses, trendy or not. It's ok on a throw, but that's it for me.

I don't like fringe on shoes or bags ... but I love it on other stuff. I had some suede boots with fringe - but I cut if off after a while. It was annoying when I walked. I have a red suede jacket with fringe that looks fab. I've probably had the jacket about six or seven years.

I recently bought a silk scarf with tassels, and I'm making a couple of things for spring that have fringe or tassels. One wrap has fringe that's almost 12 inches long! Dramatic! One of the crochet vests has tassels.

Actually, I'm seeing more tassels than fringe when I'm looking through pattern books.

I'm at the age where no matter what I wear is appropriate ... as long as I say it is!

I like your style, lady ...

Been there, done that back in high school! If you have that kind of money to buy really trendy things that are in style for two weeks, go for it!! I'll pass on that look, doesn't matter who blogs about it!

I have one clutch with a fringe tassel. That's adequate for my needs for fringe.

Is this Lisa's new job; writing fashion blogs?? Was this the big reveal? Did she say?

Her FB page is quite boring lately, I stopped checking in on it. All her posts are about food, food, and more food. And if not that, then it's sunrises & sunset pictures & lots of selfies or workout pics. Just blah stuff.

I agree. I don't normally go to her FB page, but I have a few times since she left. It's ALL about food! It's WEIRD.

Somehow I can't get past the image I have from childhood of those cowboy shirts with fringe on the arms. Just can't do it.

Funny - all those who wore fringe in school or as children.

I spent 12 years wearing school uniforms ... so I'm not hung up on "been there, done that."

I've seen one new GILI bag with fringe (Jayne and Pat presented it). Also one presented by Amy that can be used as a clutch or crossbody by Aimee Kerstenberg (Krista bag).

It is weird and it's simplistic. Good photos on the fringe blog, but honestly I have middle school students who have created more attractive and more interesting blogs than Lisa's. For a debut blog website, I expected more from her.

I don't do fringe. Didn't know it was a trend.

Spring and fringe don't seem to go together.

I think of fringe as being heavy. It seems to belong to the colder months.

In any case, I'm not a fan.

Ladies, pay attention! Did you not see the picture she posted of her thumb? You know the one where her fake fingernail came off?!?

Maybe I don't lead such a boring life after all.

Some of the ""summer fringe 2015"" pieces online are not the sort of things that would be worn by the average QVC suburban viewer.

For instance ...

I have a red fringe suede jacket from the Q from years ago. Have often thought of wearing it again, but think I'm a bit too old for it now. It's still hanging there tho!!

I have a red suede fringe jacket that I think I bought at Coldwater Creek ... definitely not from QVC. I've had it about 8 or 10 years.

Weather is warming up here in NYC ... I'll probably be wearing it this week. Are you older than me? I'm 72.
