I want to address something today that's very close to my heart...See, in this "fashion by everybody" climate, it's easy to lose the plot, throw all your crap on your body and call it "avant garde". But that is stupid never works, it doesn't look good, it might trigger your brain at moments - sure , cocoa puffs trigger my brain, but it's still boring to put them on a pedestal at the Tate Modern. They might not mean anything to you.-
Sometimes it's a good exercise to go back and think, and create something with a bit of value. After all, Picasso was an accomplished realist before he started drawing little blue people, and Britney could belt it out before she started whispering. What I'm trying to say is - There's ways and ways of pouring your silverware onto your arms without it being a random aglomeration of gold and gunmetal.
So onto the practical side of things, this is what I did. Say for instance -hypothetically- that you wanna wear your rose gold watch and your silver Great Frog skulls. Unlikely because the watch is is a ladies' and you're probably a guy if you own the bracelet, but nevermind. This is a very real problem. The pairing is not in harmony - it is not -. However. "In life everything is possible" (said the YSL sales assistant when I told her I really couldn't afford that 1700 pounds handbag), and with a little bit of adding up and shuffling around, we can actually come up with a combo that's quite modern and becoming:
The skulls needed some friends. 3 silver pieces is ideal, kind of equals the bulk of the watch, and transitions nicely into the silver rings.
The watch goes with what I wear on the other arm, which is mostly rose gold. I kept it all delicate cause a chunky anything would have eaten those chains alive, and I was particularly keen on wearing my little gold threads on my fingers.
Does this make sense? Is this a mix? YES. Does it work? YES
