Thanks for clearing that up Anne. </p> <p>Ok, so I'm not the only one who is addicted to hardware and therefore runs the risk of looking like a cyborg....good to know!</p> <p>I guess it depends on the color, scale, and number of zippers. The zipper on the GR dress is more of a statement than it is on my Uniqlo or Asos dress, so I probably won't mix in other zippers with that dress. But with the other two I think I could get away with another zipper detail elsewhere. I've never been a flop proof kind of person so why start now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160919 Mon, 24 May 2010 14:36:20 +0000 Anonymous 160919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This question about zippers gave me a brilliant idea: Maya, forget that crush. You need to find yourself a biker. Come one zipper, come all! The more the merrier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160907 Mon, 24 May 2010 13:54:51 +0000 Dashrashi 160907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my god, MNsara, mine has been studs too. I've gotten ready to go out to school MANY times this year and realized I was wearing studded boots, a studded jacket, and a studded belt before I was like, O-KAY, take one piece off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160906 Mon, 24 May 2010 13:49:25 +0000 Claudia 160906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it should be like the 'flop proof ' guidelines of wearing only one animal print at a time, one moto-inspired item, one fringed item, or one ruffled item, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160904 Mon, 24 May 2010 13:44:05 +0000 Louise 160904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I prefer to keep that sort of detail to one item. I love studs but usually if I'm wearing my studded cuff then I won't use my studded bag as the 2 items would be too close together, my exception is if there is a big gap between the items. If I had studded shoes I'd feel OK wearing them with the cuff as there would be other things in between and the cuff is fairly small i don't think I'd do shoes and bag with studs (not sure if that's any help or more confusing it made sense in my head!!!) x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160901 Mon, 24 May 2010 13:36:08 +0000 MNsara 160901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - my obsession has been studs and it's the same question when too many things have studs, what can you put together! I love zippers too so have to be veeerry careful. </p> <p>Too bad there can't be some simple way of determining the hardware threshold of a complete outfit. . . because I'm sure *my* threshold is artifically high :-\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160878 Mon, 24 May 2010 11:47:28 +0000 Itari 160878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Regarding texture, I think that boots and shoes with cut-outs are a good idea for summer, especially when it's not very hot.</p> <p>Did I mention that I love zippers too? When I have to choose between zippers and buttons, the former always wins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160874 Mon, 24 May 2010 11:20:58 +0000 April 160874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another zipperhead here. (There was a famous punk clothing store in Philadelphia called Zipperhead.) </p> <p>I think the risk of doing too many zippers at once is that it could start looking like a costume, but of course the question is exactly what number crosses the "too many" line. </p> <p>Textures for summer: jewelry and handbag come to mind, as well as some sort of jacket or wrap for indoors. How ridiculous and wasteful that we must bundle up inside in the summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160841 Mon, 24 May 2010 04:53:55 +0000 Rosie 160841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zippers rock. 'Nuff said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160731 Mon, 24 May 2010 00:18:29 +0000 Maya 160731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your bag sounds delightful Angie. I didn't even remember to mention my zipper headband...and my moto jackets that are full of hardware...</p> <p>I'll be sad when the zipper craze is over, if only because half my wardrobe will be dated. Sigh.</p> <p>Ok, I shall stick to my Brulees and Smooches when wearing the GR dress. But I think I can wear these shoes with the Asos dress since the zipper isn't as much of a statement.</p> <p>I'm not sure how easy it will be to add texture in the summer. Perhaps I'm just not inventive enough? Usually when I think of adding texture, I think of belts, hose, and layers, which are not ideal in hot weather. I guess for one season I can stick to wearing one zippered item at a time...but the temptation is strong! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160716 Mon, 24 May 2010 00:03:26 +0000 Angie 160716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm obsessed with zippers too, and have been that way since the 80's. I *just* bought a neon green zipper handbag. </p> <p>Love the shoes. Need to stock up on zippered items while they are available. It could all change next season. </p> <p>If the zippers are the same metal, the shoes could work with the zipper dress if you add another texture somewhere. I fully intend to sport my new zipper handbag with zipper leggings - but I'll add another texture or few textures into the ensemble. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-many-zippers#post-160713 Sun, 23 May 2010 23:58:05 +0000 Maya 160713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am obsessed with zippers but I'm afraid I'm getting a little bit too obsessed. I have zippers on my leggings, exposed zips on three of my dresses, and zipper decorations on bags and now shoes as well! I need some guidance on how much zipper is too much for an outfit. Does the hardware have to match? My GR dress has a gold zip but most of my other zippers are silver. My Asos dress has a black zipper that is more subtle so maybe that can be worn with other zipper embellishments.</p> <p>I just bought these shoes and would love to wear them with that dress but I think it might be a bit wacky:</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/blowfish-courtesy-black?zlfid=111" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/blowfish.....?zlfid=111</a></p> <p>Thoughts? </p>
