IDGAF if something will look dated in a few years time or not. If I like it I carry it. Some trends can get done to death and reach a point of critical mass before retreating to sane proportions (think spikes). I like spikes but when everybody and their mother started putting them on everything ---whether the esthetic would support it or not-------I backed off. When the herd has thundered on to the next Big Thing I will bring them back out. I personally like grommets. They add an edginess while retaining a certain elevation.
LMAO at the fringe comment. I can't tell you how many times fringe has come and gone since I first wore it in junior high in the late 60's/early 70's. Same with chokers, BOHO hippy chic, etc.I am still waiting for puka shells to make a comeback though
