Hi Fashionistas!
Fashion trends change year to year! For me, its a thrill, especially to see old fashion trends from the 1900's make their way around to the new millennium!
For the last few summers, we have continuously seen cropped tops, denim shorts, gladiator sandals, and over-sized sunglasses. However, this summer there are new trends that have become my must-haves! Keeping up with the trend can be pretty expensive especially if it is seasonal with no certainty of lasting. I have complied a list of a few current must-have accessories. The best part is that all of these items are super affordable from FOREVER 21! So don't worry, your summer jobs will be able to afford it and your next shopping trip won't break the bank!
1.) Fringe handbags
Fringe in general is pretty famous this summer. Its on shoes, bags, keychains, clothing and so much more! It used to look pretty tacky, but brands are now refacing the concept to make it look more chic than ever.
2.) Flower headbands
They are not only for the music festival fanatics, they are for everyone! Wearing a flower headband on the right outfit can give it the perfect the finishing touch. It's so feminine and flirty!
3.) Bold Clutches
A few summers ago, I totally overlooked it. I was too busy looking for a perfect envelope clutch that I passed this by. But now, I realize that this is the best accessory!
Style tip: Add one of these inexpensive clutches on a solid color outfit, it will become a great conversation piece and look 10x it's cost!
4.) Head-chains
An absolute must! Head chains look good on anyone regardless of your hair type or head size! Treat it like a necklace or a pair of statement earrings.
5.) Mirrored sunglasses
Just pure love.
6.) Pointed Closed-Toe Flats
Extremely clean, classy, comfortable and can even serve as dupes for your favorite closed-toe heels!
7.) Backpacks
We have been lugging our things in backpacks since our diaper days. However, it is still the cool thing to do! Small leather or unique backpacks are becoming the handbags of today.
8.) Hats
Fedoras have been everyone's must-have since the summer of 2013! When they first came around, I hated the straw style fedoras. However, I am in love now since brands are recreating and reconstructing the fedoras to favor all kinds of hair lengths, color, head size, and shape!
