How To: Creating The Perfect Arm Party

Arm party, arm/wrist candy and arm swag are just a few ways people describe their bracelets, cuffs, watches etc. I love creating arm parties because they are a simple way to personalize any outfit. Here are four different looks I tend to use a lot.

The first thing I do when accessorizing my wrists is to start out with a theme. I like to start with the metal color then go from there {unless I am purposely trying to mix metal colors, I try to always stick with either gold or silver}. Next I pretty much just grab a variety of different sized bracelets {chucky, thin, etc} and try to add a color that compliments what I am wearing {For example, I wear turquoise a lot because it matches with a lot of my clothes}. Lastly, I like layering a chunky bracelet with my watch to pull everything together. Hopefully this inspires you to create your own arm party:) Send me pictures of your arm party and I will post them! I'd love to see how you style yours. Happy hump day everyone!

xoxo,
Alyssa
