One of the latest trends to hit the nation is what is known as "Arm Candy," or even "Arm Party." It's a great way to make a final statement about your particular style. I always receive plenty of compliments about my "charmed arms" while I'm working, but I also receive a lot of questions. For instance, a customer once asked me if you could mix gold and silver together. And the answer is YES! Mixed metals are always fun and an interesting conversation-starter. To the left you see just rose gold, but this can be mixed within arrays of gold and silver, too. It's rather easy, really -- for any look you're going for. All you need are the essentials and from there you can play it up as much as you wish. So, what are the essentials? First is the watch. I personally believe that no look is complete without a watch (it's also easier than having to check your phone for the time). It can be gold, silver, decked out in rhinestones, glitter, whatever. It all works here. Next, you'll want to find a link bracelet. It adds a bit of chunkiness to the mix. Then you'll want these three: a bangle, cuff bracelet (if you so desire, I don't usually add this one in), and the dainty bracelet. And, you can arrange them in whatever way you like best. It doesn't matter as long as you love it. And as always, feel free to let me know how your charmed arms turned out!
I really started seeing this in middle school, but it does seem that it has since taken off to be a big thing. I'll admit, I'm not fond of too much on my wrists or arms, but I've seen people pull the look seamlessly.
ReplyDeleteIt's really fun to arrange bracelets differently and create a new look each time! By the way,I didn't think about the watch before. I am going to try with it next time!
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't really wear bracelets, I admire the people that can pull this look off.
ReplyDeleteI need to expand my bracelet collection.. Right now I am mostly restricted to the Live Strong bands, and a few pretty bangles from Nepal! I am a huge fan of mix-matching, though.
