Peek-A-Boo Fashion


 
      This season fashion has gone rogue with clear, lucite accents.  Playful peek-a-boo is a reigning trend for Spring 2013.   But don’t be shy- clear is the perfect neutral and it goes with everything!
      While it may not be a big clothing trend, clear accents are a giant accessory trend. Plexi-glass heels, jewelry, and handbags can neutralize an otherwise boldly colored or geometric print ensemble.   The accessory-challenged can breathe a sigh of relief when wearing this trend since these chunky, transparent pieces go with literally any outfit.  Most of these pieces perfectly bridge the gap between casual and dressy, so you can pair them with your jeans and T-shirt or little black dress.
       Gone are the days of endlessly searching the bottomless pit of your bag with utter contempt and frustration.  Never again will you have trouble finding what you're looking for inside this clear clutch by Gucci or tote by Alexander McQueen.   Just be careful what you pack in these plexi-glass bags because the world will have a sneak preview of what you're carrying inside.  While you may have to regulate what you carry in your see-through bag, larger styles, like this one from Alexander McQueen, give you ample storage space so you'll always have everything you need on hand. 
        Accessories are usually just a finishing touch to the outfit, but with this trend they really shine.  The good news about lucite accessories is that they don't cost a fortune (unless they're made by Gucci and Chanel!).  Since lucite accessories are made from plastic they are generally inexpensive.   So be bold and daring this season- give this clear trend a try.
