Plastic Accessories

[saann]

I love these.. I'm not sure if plastic is the right translation... feel free to change if it's not... I've been wearing some of this for a while and I'm noticing a lot more in stores..
I love how they're so colorful

some of the pics show plastic detailing

[Couture_Tribe]

I especially like those plastic chains!

 

[alwaysacitygirl]

I think they're cute but I'm not all that into them. I feel like I would look childish wearing them

 

[ashley8790]

I dont know. I think maybe if you had them with the right outfit, but otherwise they could look tacky.

plastic/resin...

it's all good.....

and i think it's adorable too...
especially for summer!!!

i have a cute carved plastic ring shaped like a rose...
it's my new favourite thing...

they are also pleasantly AFFORDABLE...

 

[JATE]

I love this trend. I feel like its sort of new age in a kind of Wonderland/Wonka kind of way. I love the colors too...glad to see it on the runway..What a creative punch

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i love plastic accessories

although i have misplaced my plastic anchor brooch and broke my plastic gun necklace

 

[stacyyyy]

I dont know. I think maybe if you had them with the right outfit, but otherwise they could look tacky.

i totally agree.and reckon with the wrong outfit theyd look horrible.i love the necklaces in the first picture though

 

[morgan38]

I do think they can look very cute and are good for summer...but I do think some people go overboard. Usually I think one piece is enough.

 

[MulletProof]

i love plastic...everywhere except around your neck, it's just so overdone these days.

 

[golucky]

Oooh, I have to admit I like this trend an awful lot. I agree, it can be kinda tacky if overdone, but I think a few pieces here and there can look really creative and whimsical. Wellll, at least until everyone is wearing them too.

I've noticed that they're popping up in stores all over the place, but I haven't seen as many people actually wearing them on the street, sooo ... I don't know. It really goes along with the "childish" (?) and mod trends.

Since I like getting things (mostly) on the cheap ...

[sphagnum.esplanade]

Oh, cute cute. I've never liked the plastic curb chain though

 

[xxb3bigurlxix]

I love it. It reminds me of things I used to wear as a kid, like little plastic cheap jewlery. I still like to wear the dollar store jewls =]

 

[shimmer]

ahhhh! very cute, very fresh looking with white.
i love wearing white dresses in the summer with these bunched up. i love plastic jewelry because they usually are inexpensive. well the nondesigner anyway

 

[ApertureRomance]

Not a fan of the chains at all.

As for plastic earrings I'm forever scouring charity shops for 80s earrings I love them haha.

Lee Riot , Catch and Kiss and Fuzz Design they make some cute necklaces , the designs get "ripped" off and then appear in your local Claire's accessories so it depends how much you want to pay.

patent plastic is just so tacky!

 

[Bluestar07]

It looks so cute on the models and on some people but on me, I feel it's tacky...don't know why. I've never really had a thing for plastic accessories.

I'd wear the bangles in the 2nd pic in post #12 though. Too cute!

 

[snowqueen]

I adore plastic jeawlry .. the only type of jewlry i wear really .. ive got everything from broches to earings etc. the bigger, bolder, cheaper looking the better .. this type of plastic jeawlry always gives me a kind of 80's vibe.

 

[Plastic'sWife]

I personally dont really care for plastic accessories because I think they are somewhat cheap looking and a total fad- two things I dont do.
