Spring 2007
What to Buy Spring 2007: The Lucite Bangle
So what exactly is Lucite?
According to it’s wikipedia entry, Lucite is basically transparent plastic used as an alternative to glass, aka acrylic glass. Versions of the material is used for a lot things.. windows, artificial limbs, fake finger nails, and this year’s hottest accessory… the Lucite bangle.
Rules for Lucite Bangles
1. Never pay more than $10 for a Lucite Bangle. Buy them from Target, Forever 21, H&M, Wet Seal, Marianne’s, Mandees, etc. Skip Bloomies and Macys (which totally overcharges for it’s costume jewelry)
2. To really punch up your outfit, wear at least 2 of the bangles at the same time (3 or more if you’re a more advanced fashion person)
3. Wear only one type of Lucite accessory at a time- so if you’re wearing a pair of Lucite heeled sandals, don’t also wear 5 Lucite bracelets or vice versa.
What to Buy Spring 2007- Yea or Nay: Denim Trench Coat, $98.00
My two cents: After trashing the Gap a few weeks ago, I decided to show some of the positive items they will be selling this Spring (yesterday jeans for those of us with a little more curve in the back). I like this coat, but I’m not sure if I “$98.00” like it. It would be incredibly functional and I’m sure the cost per wear (learn how to figure out the cost per wear), would be well under $2.00 a pop. I also like the fact that is comes in Petite and Tall.
