Kim Kardashian’s popularity rate is reportedly flailing these days. After the very public divorce and her ex-husband’s claim to have been set up for the reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the once-seen-everywhere Kim kept herself in semi-recluse for some time.

On January 20, however, the ShoeDazzle founder couldn’t resist a stop at her favorite Chanel boutique.

The 31-year-old sported an asymmetrical sweater from Helmut Lang styled with a pair of on-trend blue flared jeans.

Kim completed the outfit with tan-colored Azzedine Alaïa heels, a stylish Balenciaga bag, and an odd headpiece featuring an evil eye symbol. Do you know the meaning of this popular symbol?

Being a strong supporter of Nicole Richie’s fashion line, Kim accessorized with House of Harlow’s 3-strand ‘Evil Eye’ headpiece that actually looked quite charming on her.

However, considering her recent unpopularity, it may not have been a good move.

Her long dark hair contrasted with the interesting gold accent — the gypsy look always complements her facial features.

The headpiece features 14k gold-plated beads and pavé crystals. We also found a multi-strand chain necklace alternative from Luv Aj with pyramid stud detail.
