Wrist Art

      Remember that old charm bracelet you got in 7th grade? And those piles of bangles you’d stack up on your wrists? What about that old scarf you  never seem to wear? Well combine them all, and you have an armful of glamour waiting to happen!
      Once upon a time, the trend was to wear one simple tennis bracelet, or a large cocktail ring. Well that was before, and now the look du jour is wearing all your finest arm candy at once. Charm bracelets, cuffs, wrap bracelets, stacked bangles, and watches worn together; the more colorful and diverse the texture and material of your arm-wear, the better you will look. The trend is a collage of multiple bracelets and watches on one arm consisting of different metals, textures and shapes. Think of it this way- its art for your wrists.
      Don’t be afraid to mix large items with smaller pieces! Just make sure they don’t pile up on each other so you can’t tell them apart. So push your sleeves up, throw on everything you have, and hit the streets in one of the hottest trends of the spring!
