Oh, celebrities. You: with the glamorous life full of fame and amazing wardrobes. Me: reading about it in People magazine, wondering if I can pull off the latest wacky fashion trend you’re wearing while sitting at home in my Target PJ’s.
I have a bit of a love/hate with celebs. Sometimes I wish I knew less about their lives — did you know Kim Kardashian wore a $10 lipstick at her wedding? (seriously, why do I know this/care?!). And then on the other hand, I do enjoy finding new fashion inspiration in their red carpet looks and paparazzi photos. Lately it seems that celebs have been wearing a few fashion trends that I dig in theory… and then I remember I’m a normal gal with a 9-6 job so um, where exactly would I wear that??
Ear cuffs, gladiator sandals, midi rings — let’s take a look at some of these celebrity fashion trends and see if we can translate them to normal life.
——
Ear Cuffs: We already bejewel our lower lobes… might as well bejewel our entire ear, right? Kate Bosworth is glowing in this sparkly ear cuff, but I hate to say it, it also makes her look like an alien. Us normal gals/non-aliens should opt from something a bit more subtle like this ear cuff from BaubleBar.
Platforms: God bless a woman who can walk, dance, and sing in platform heels without toppling over. J. Lo, my hat is off to you. I, however, wouldn’t last a second in those heels. I love how a platform wedge like this pair from Sole Society gives me height but it also still totally practical.
Midi Rings: Kristen Stewart, you are so edgy with those midi rings! Similar to the ear cuff trend, the fashion world has found a new part of the body to wear jewelry: your knuckle. This trend is kind of silly and also kind of awesome. I prefer this sweeter and more feminine midi ring from ASOS.
Gladiator Sandals: I love a funky sandal, but Kourtney Kardashian’s knee-high gladiator sandals are just too much. Luckily there are plenty of more toned-down gladiators sandals out there for those of us not on reality TV — love this pair from Nordstrom.
Statement Necklaces: When it comes to celebs, it seems like they’re trying to one up each other in the statement necklace department. The bigger, the better, right, Olivia Palermo? I love love love the statement necklace trend, but maybe we can tone it down just a tad, like with this beaut from Capwell.
What celebrity trends are you loving? Any trends you’ll be passing on (besides crop tops, like me)?
