Bloggers Do It Better: You're Invited To The Arm Party

I've been following Pretty Shiny Sparkly for a while now, and I've really enjoyed her idea of 'Bloggers Do It Better', where she sets outfit challenge posts for her readers to blog about, such as 'Neons & Neutrals' and puts together a roundup of links of what everyone made of the challenge. I've wanted to participate before, but for any number of different reasons I have not been able to. However, I'm totally in love with the latest challenge  'Arm Party', and so happy to be able to participate!

An 'Arm Party' is the uber fashionable idea of having loads of different bracelets stacked up your arms - priceless bangles, concert entires, friendship bracelets, watches - the lot. I used to be such a huge fan of doing this, but I'd stopped doing it recently. However, since I got my Whistles wrap bracelet (pictured above with my everyday silver bangle and my Citizen dress watch from this outfit post last month)

With the challenge in mind, I decided to put together a variant on the look I had already tried, something feminine, but with edge.

Do you like stacking bracelets up your arms, or just wearing one or two? (I'd love to see some pictures!)

  1. Love how you wore the ribbons along with the other bracelets. I'm not the only one who compulsively saves ribbons! It's the world's easiest DIY and looks great.
