Stacking Cuffs and Bracelets Trend

Submitted by Mimi on Sunday, 21 December 200814 Comments

I have always been crazy about jewelry and I don’t mean the expensive stuff but distinctive costume jewelry made out of all kind of materials and stones. It brings enormous life and energy to any outfit, adding a personal touch by making the outfit authentic, thus truly yours. Jewelry wardrobe has become just as essential as the shoe closet or a bag cupboard. We can all agree that jewelry is the easiest accessory to carry with you and transform the appearance of an outfit from day to night. You can start putting together your jewelry collection with this year’s must have- bangle cuffs. I find some of the greatest, one of a kind pieces in local vintage stores, ethnic shops or my mom’s jewelry wardrobe.

Many designers featured stacked cuffs and bangles in their Spring/Summer 2009 Collections:

Alternatively, I like to wear a bangle above my elbow high on the upper arm. Unfortunately, I can hardly wear it like that in the winter, since it’s freezing here in Toronto, so I end up wearing long sleeves most of the time, which then gives me an opportunity to play around with my cuffs and bracelets.

Just like with all of the other accessories, I think this is such an awesome way to add creativity and pizzass to the outfit and the overall look. Btw Mimi, you look absolutely adorable in your photos! Yellow looks really lovely on you! Thanks for sharing =)

Love your above-elbow bangle. Back in 8th grade, I used to wear uncountable bangles and bracelets. I also had one ‘good luck’ bracelet that I never took off for about eight years, but then it broke But I still have a lot of jewelry, and even though I don’t wear bracelets every day now, I wear them often. And it’s cold here in Germany too, but it’s that annoying kind of weather that’s neither warm nor really cold, so about 9°C. Bah. I hope we’ll get some snow for Christmas, but to be honest I don’t think so.
Hugs and kisses!

Absolutely love cuff bracelets and lots of bangles piled up my wrists and arms! Oh but when I was in school and would wear those, everyone hated me because everytime I would have to write something my bracelets would clink and bang on the desk and make lots of noise! Oops!

Anyway thanks for your kind comment, you’re so sweet!

My Mom taught me that if you’re going to wear bracelet, wear ‘em all- stack ‘em. I have always followed that rule. Great post, MiMi!

I’m so glad you enjoyed my interview. It flatters me that you took the time to read (and then stop by to comment on it!) Thanks, lovey.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas. Cannot wait for the 25th. You know I’ll be bouncing out of bed EXTRA EARLY!

PS: Converse are the only sneakers I deem chic enough to wear with anything. Right?

Oh, by the way Mimi: I forgot to answer your question in my last comment. I was in Basel in Switzerland. My uncle used to live there, that’s why I went there in the first place [I never go to any country where I don't have any relatives ].
Okay, I will try smokey eyes soon, thanks for the tip! I think liquid eyeliner would look great on you too! You’re very beautiful!

Hi Cate!- I’m sorry about that good luck bracelet…there comes a time when we have to part with those beloved items…and grow…I try not to cling to any items anymore, as I realize anything could be taken away any momemnt…

Hi Susanna!- Darling I use to do the same, but at work…lol…Now people didn’t really say anything, but I know it sounds rather annoying…lol

Hi Erika!- Yes, you are absolutely right… Converse are definitely the only sneakers I can call stylish…I might consider wearing them again…who knows…ha-ha

Hi Katee- Thank you darling for your sweet comment! I usually just randomly throw my favorites:)

Hi Songy!- That’s sweet of you to say that…Wait till I get my new camera , hopefully in a few days…the quality of the pic is going to be WAY better
