Last spring I designed a pair of earrings with a small bead on top and a colorful tassel dangling at the bottom. Little did I know, I was on to something. I started noticing a trend this fall with tassels as accessories. I've seen tassel earrings at Target and tassel designer necklaces in several fashion magazines. I really wanted to get back into this trend so I made a pair of antique looking earrings with a black tassel. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm in love with these! I'm planning on making a similar necklace. Keep your eyes peeled. I think you will be seeing a lot more of the tassel trend in the spring and next fall too!
I've been working on my jewelry business a lot lately (which explains where I've been instead of blogging, oops). I decided to create some jewelry to wear at ACL (Austin City Limits). I was at ACL last weekend and it was pretty awesome! I got to see Florence and the Machine, Weezer, The Black Keys...which is now one of my new favorite bands! and many more. I decided to go with a rocker look this year for ACL. I wore my burgundy shirt I bought at target (that's featured in my previous blog about Shades of Burgundy), jeans and black biker boots (biker/rain boots). To finish the look I made a black and gold spike chain necklace, which I ended up wearing as a bracelet since my blouse already had hardware on the front. It was fun getting dressed up for the concerts and had a hell of a time too!
Next time your getting dressed for an event, try adding some personal touches to it. If you don't make jewelry, maybe add a scarf your mom made you or a pendant your grandmother gave you. It will add more personality to your look and make it even more special! Rock on my fashionistas!
