After seeing two of my fave DIYers, ...Love Maegan and Honestly...WTF, take it old school in recent projects, I could not help but pick up some Lester Lace (or gimp) when I was at Blick Art the other day. I love the idea of reviving this look for the summer! Swimsuit designer Brette Sandler, sold the arm candy (above)last Summer, which could be an uber chic look with a chunky gold watch and a few bangles.
What do you think, bring the trend back or leave it on the playground?
I really like the look in suede or leather cords; it ups the style quotient! But the plastic lanyards should definitely stay on the playground.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh yes. What an awesome throwback! Brings back memories.
ReplyDeletelove it!!!! pretty sure this is my weekend project...I may even do the plastic lanyards with some nuts and washers for a hardware look.
ReplyDeleteI say bring it! I recently bought some as well, I thought it would be fun to do with my daughter, and I could chicify mine up :)
