"  When my best friend&amp;#039;s older sister worked at Contempo Casuals (circa 1995), store policy mandated that all employees carry see-through purses to prevent theft of the coveted, Clueless-inspired merchandise (baby tee, anyone?). Having to tote a transparent (most likely plastic) accessory was considered offensive and tragic at the time, but nearly two decades later, lucite is clearly one of spring&amp;#039;s freshest trends. Diane von Furstenburg (see above), L.A.M.B, and Stella McCartney are all stepping out with chunky lucite heels that look absolutely nothing like the see-through stilettos once known only to strippers. On the flip, they&amp;#039;d probably make you seem as if you&amp;#039;re floating down the street on air! But do not confuse lucite with invisiblity. Evidence: Simone Rocha and Burberry are delighting our eyes with neon yellow and coral bags, Tory Burch sold out her highlighter-inspired crossbody purses, CC Skye pairs lucite with a pop of tangerine (above), and, back at the mall, Forever 21 has a pretty-in-pink lucite Peter Pan collar. Not to be like a bossy manager at Contempo or anything, but we strongly suggest you let a little lucite in your life. Want more from Michelle? Follow her on Twitter @michelleruiz.
