Incorporation: A Touch of Punk

Every so often I think we all get an itch to rebel. I've been searching for a way to incorporate this rebel look into an everyday wardrobe and I think I have found the cure. Let's head back to where it began. Punk started to show up in the mid-70s and lived a long life throughout the 80's. It hit cities in the U.S. and the U.K. which is where it was noticed the most. New York City, London, and England is where we most associate the movement with. The music scene that we associate with punk started out in New York, the fashion, however, started in England with it's roots coming from the poor economy of the time. The beginning of Punk fashion can partly be due to Malcolm Mclaren who opened his shop SEX. Here punk fashions could be purchased and helped kick start the movement.
For us it's a little to much work to produce a Mohawk and a full face of makeup before leaving the house every morning so let's simplify this for an everyday look. I purchased a pack of studs online and simply placed them in 2 rows of 3, followed by 1 row of 2, and 1 row of 1. These were placed on the collar of a denim button up that I purchased at a thrift store. This doesn't have to cost you money, I may have spent $5.00 on the project. The studs can also be placed on the elbows, cuffs, buttons, there is an endless amount of opportunities to create this look. Just keep in mind to incorporate current trends such as the denim button up which has been going strong for the last few seasons.
