Easy Bracelet Stack How-To & Link Up!

Today I'm so excited to be Co-Hosting a link up with the beautiful Laura from A Touch of Tartan. I love her down-to-earth style and she's from across the pond in Scotland--how awesome is that! Go  and check her out and then link up your fashion/beauty posts below!

How beautiful is Laura?!

Now that the weather is warmer and the short sleeves are coming out, I love to start wearing my bracelets. If you know me, you know I like things pretty simple and uncomplicated. As much as I LOVE the arm candy in this picture:

I just can't do it. No way. Not even to go out. It's just too much. So I'll just sit back and admire everyone who can actually pull this off. But I do love my bracelets and they add a nice little touch to a simple spring outfit. You know, one of those "touches" that says, "I didn't just roll out of bed, I made an effort-DARN IT!" I love those touches :)

Here's my simple, uncomplicated formula for a cute, yet pretty darn practical bracelet stack ~

Let's discuss ~

1 ~ A Watch: Girls, before a year or so ago, I hadn't worn a watch since 4th grade. It seems like watches went completely out of style for awhile but now they're definitely coming back around and I LOVE IT!!! I was skeptical at first (why would anyone wear a watch when you can just check the time on your phone??), but now I feel completely naked with my watch. Don't forget I AM OLD SCHOOL, people!! I just got on Instagram, remember??!

Not only are watches a GORGEOUS accessory, they apparently tell time too (that's the practical angle I'm always looking for!) I have a 38mm Fossil watch very similar to the one in the collage above that I purchased at Nordstrom Rack for $50. It's a beautiful watch and will last forever.

2 ~ A Bangle: After you have on your practical watch, it's time to add some fun stuff. Again, without being too complicated. I love a simple bangle like the "love" one in the collage above. It can be any width, it's just a little something extra to add to your "stack."

3 ~ Color or Texture: Here's where the fun comes in! For the last bracelet, add one with color or texture. I LOOOVE my knock-off Renegade bracelet from Stella and Dot (in the collage) or as my friends lovingly refer to it as, "Mr. Spikey." It might look odd by itself, but it adds so much texture to your little stack. You can also add a colored wrap bracelet, a blingy crystal bracelet...a charm bracelet...sky's the limit!

Here are some ways I wear mine ~

I switch between wearing Mr. Spikey, a colored wrap, a blingy crystal bracelet and an Alex and Ani charm bangle. Simple! I'll link a few options below for the pieces I featured in this post, but online stores like Jane, Edith Marie and Accessory Concierge are great places to get inexpensive jewelry. Of course, if you live near a Charming Charlie's, that place is a goldmine for bracelets, too!

Have fun with your arm candy! Don't forget to link up below!! :)
