FASHION FOCUS: CHAIN ACCESSORIES
How can you wear, or even more so layer chain necklaces without people mistakenly thinking you're either a gangster, a pimp or something who's just stuck in the 80's? Well, the answer is, I have no idea! Sounds a little misleading or better yet, disappointing? Well, to be honest, it's not about the accessory that makes you who you are, it's all about the person and how she carries herself, that's the most important of all when it comes to fashion. So in the recent years we have seen a huge boom in statement jewelry. From bright and bold to chunky and blinged out. We have seen the use of layering/ stacking jewelry, like the saying, the more, the merrier. 
In this outfit, I incorporated two different gold chunky chain necklaces that I was able to adjust in different lengths, that way, I was easily able to create the layered look. I used the Nu Sans Bijoux in "Vogue" (white) which is also by the way a 3-in-1 necklace & bracelet, as well as "Gold digger" (w/ nude pink leather). These two fabulous pieces were easily a standout not only because of its "statement piece" aspect but also because of it's amazing craftsmanship. These two pieces give off a very playful and modern with a smidge of vintage glamour. I also love the mixture of textures that gives even the most casual outfit a sophisticated quality to it.
So, in this look, I decided to tone it down a bit by wearing just a basic brown tee along with my two statement jewelry. I think it is very important to make sure that you have the right balance when it comes to knowing what's too much and too tacky. And, since I already have too much going on with my chain necklaces and my brightly print maxi, I decided to just go with a simple basic top. I also opt out my neon and over the top arm party to a more neutral substitutes.

FASHION FOCUS: WRAP BRACELETS
Have you ever had issues with bracelets or bangles not fitting your wrists because they are too tiny? Well, I'm one of those people who always seem to have major troubles when it comes to finding good stacking arm buddies. Every time I buy a bracelet or even a link watch, I have to get it resized because my wrists and arms are just way too small, which is so upsetting =/ However, wrap bracelets are a great solution for those of you who feel left out for having such teeny tiny wrists like I do. 
Wrap bracelets are basically made with longer material that could be used to wrap around your wrist a couple or multiple times. So, whether you have an average size wrist or a semi-non existent one like me, wrap bracelets will do just the trick. So, now you can stack, stack, stack without having bangles or bracelets fall off your arm. 
In this outfit, I am featuring the Sphink Spike Wrap Bracelet that I got from Created by Fortune. The wrap itself seems to be made out of a neon pink leather and features ten large silver spikes as well as a magnetic closure. This piece will surely be a standout on your arm-party! Not only is it bold & bright, but it might be a little on the dangerous side too (well, not exactly! but if ever you're in danger, I think this might serve as a weapon? --Now, you didn't hear this from me, alright! I don't wanna get sued. LOL!)
