According to NYFW…. club kid style is making a serious comeback. When I first saw Miley’s “dirty hippie” DIY pieces strut down the runway w/ Jeremy Scott, I was unclear, but once my eyes adjusted… I kind of started to dig it.
I’ve never been the raver type, so seeing this look on the runway & rocking it in real time are two completely different stories. I couldn’t really envision this style on us “normal folk” until I saw a snapshot of Miss Chiara Ferragni (from The Blonde Salad– drr!) sporting the Chanel ‘Sweetie’ necklace on the streets of NYFW.
It had those kitschy raver revival vibes but was worn in a much more relatable & cool way w/ denim shorts, cool sneaks, & a plain white tee. Sorry Miley– you’re just a bit too out there for the masses & I don’t think air fresheners as earrings is ever gonna be a thing (p.s. that was sooo mean girls of me! LOL).
In all reality though, I wasn’t sold until I spotted Alexa Chung, one of my top style icons, also wearing the same candy necklace. That’s when I knew I had to give this trend a lil’ F.Lush test drive.
Can you guess where this is going?! Duh duh duh……
I DIY-ed it for ya! Shockerrrrr.
Let’s get real real though, anyone who goes out and buys a Chanel faux candy necklace is kinda batshit. I mean…. how long is this whole look really going to last anyways? It will most likely be out of style before you even get around to paying it off.
Save your money for something more classic & timeless (like that Celine bag you’ve been eyeing maybs?!) & just make this bad boy instead.
I would really really love to hear what you think about the club kid comeback?! I am the only one who is actually thinking it’s kinda bad ass (if done proper)??
