Bling into Spring
Never fear, blinged-out denim is here! I can assure you that this is definitely not a tribute to circus-worthy rhinestone embellishments. These days all the hottest premium denim jeans are sporting chic, funky metal studs and other adornments that are “light years” away from the era of the Bedazzler. Oh yeah. It’s okay. I owned one too and I went WAY overboard with it.

But fear not all you shiny loving fashionistas. Choose your style and personal touch with the help of these no-fail tips!
Rhinestone Embellished Denim Fits Best When Relaxed.
That’s right people. They’re not meant to be a second skin. You don’t want to look like an 80′s fashion mistake by buying your embellished shorts too tight. Instead, go for semi-loose, boyfriend style cropped jeans or shorts with a comfortable rise. One of my favorite embellished denim brands right now is LA Idol denim. With their fabulous pocket details and extreme side stitching, LA Idol provides the perfect pair of jeans, capris, bermudas or shorts for any fashionable denim devotee. If you want your denim to make a statement and not fade into your outfit, LA Idol denim is for you.

Wear Your Blingy Jeans with a Plain Tee.
I personally love plain tees, especially V-neck tees. That’s why I’m giving you the perfect excuse to break out that vintage rock band tee or soft boho inspired top created by this season’s favorite trend: crochet. You will keep the outfit from going over the edge of rhinestone-rocked ridiculousness by contrasting a studded jacket or blinged-out bottom with casual pieces.
Please Note: The same tip goes for footwear! Keep it simple: add a pair of neutral wedges, casual sandals or low canvas sneaks to create an “un” thought-out outfit.
REMEMBER to Not Be Afraid to Accessorize.
There is no reason why you can’t bling into spring with fun accessories: Bangle bracelets, bohemian beaded strands, layered necklaces and interesting earrings are a stellar way to add color to your outfit.
So embrace the BLING and let your style shine as brightly as your tastefully embellished bottom! Be sure to stop by any of your local Glik’s store locations or check us out online at gliks.com for all of your summer denim needs!
