Ms. Barton has been lambasted in the press recently for her fashion choices, not an insignificant amount of which include some element of fringe.As New York Post Popwrap blogger Jarett Wieselman stated so eloquently: "Bejesus Barton, you're starting to make me feel like Regina George, but I must persist.

Despite the OTT ridiculousness of several of the above confections, I still believe that fringe can be done tastefully, as with this Salvatore Ferragamo metal fringe trim bag, pictured at right courtesy elle.com.
