Zip It

Say goodbye to the days of hiding your zipper because the new trend is now to show your zipper off. Whether it's on your jeans, skirt, dress, bag, shoes, etc.; exposed zippers are everywhere. These zipper accents are the perfect way to add an edgy feel to an otherwise plain article of clothing. This is another trend that I really love. I own a pair of shorts with exposed zippers on the sides that I enjoy wearing during the summer (unfortunately, it's still too cold in NY to wear them right now). I'm currently looking for more zipper embellished items to buy, so I decided to search online. I will feature some of my finds below:
