Big last fall and still very popular now - the exposed zipper.  No longer are zippers hiding, buried beneath fabrics - no, no!   Zippers have put themselves out there to say, “Hey - I’m not just functional.  I’m awesome to look at!”  I must admit, I kind of like it.  :)

Pieces with exposed zippers can add a bit of “edge” to any outfit.  But, if you’re not going for a total “rocker” look, try pairing the item that has the exposed zipper with more feminine pieces.  Here’s a look at some {budget}fab* options for this trend…

Personally, I love the red Arzachena clutch.  I’d play up the edginess of that piece and wear it like this…
