The Best Street Style Looks So Far Are Very 'Little Mermaid'

We need to go to the craft store ASAP

by Allison Stubblebine

New York Fashion Week is finally here, and on the first couple of days, the accessories were on fire. Chains, bold hair clips, and intricately shaped earrings were the choice of many that turned heads. Others took their accessorizing to the next level, adorning their faces with pearls and seashells to complete the look.

Some of our favorite trends of seasons past have proven to stand the test of time; slime green and neon brights are here to stay, and so are monochromatic neutrals. Below, we round up our favorite street style looks from the first days of NYFW.
