Fringed Moccasin Trend: Snob or Slob?

minnetonkaboots.jpgminnetonkamoccasinboots.jpgminnetonkazipper.jpg

The last time I wore fringed moccasin boots (yes, I had them– in white leather no less– go ahead, laugh!) I was not even old enough to order up a martini. But I thought I was the coolest girl on earth and I wore those god awful boots with everything! Leather mini skirts, jeans, you name it I wore it! I’m ashamed to say I even had matching white leather earrings (I was 19 and it was 1989, White Snake was on MTV round the clock– can you blame me?!). Thankfully I grew out of those boots and all things fringed (don’t even ask about my fringed black leather jacket, I cringe, I cringe about the fringe!). Apparently fringe is back in a serious way and I am not getting on the bandwagon this time around. They just look so… Bon Jovi?!?! What do you think? To fringe or not to fringe?

    NOT to fringe. I really prefer clean lines or girly ruffles. But then again, I really don’t think I can pull the fringe look off.
