The piece of jewelry that will make everything better
The obsession started last week. I was standing by our special sections editor Liz Kiernan's cube, performing that obnoxious bad-office-etiquette ritual where you pick up objects from another person's desk and, without asking, begin eating them, trying them on, moisturizing your hands with them, spraying them, etc. Anyway, on Liz's desk was the prettiest, sturdy-yet-delicate gold cuff. And every time (a lot of times) I slipped it on my wrist, I felt instantly glamorous and grown-up. Then, this morning, I saw a woman wearing chic yellow heels and a cool gray coat and peeking out from her sleeve was another extra-sophisticated gold cuff. So, today on eBay I found three of them. This pleated version has a perfect little '60s-cocktail-party feel. Or you could go more tribal and exotic with this carved style. And last, this curvy, solid look totally makes me want to bust out the shoulder pads and heavy-duty eye makeup and channel sexy '80s power lady Donna Mills from Knots Landing.
I LOVE this bracelet...especially on long, skinny arms in the summer, with a simple (slightly) puffed sleeve button down shirt, skinny jeans or a flowy skirt, and flats. I think this braclet could rock a casual outfit.
Uh, why do the arms have to be skinny? That bracelet rocks so hard even Carrot Top would look flawless while wearing it...no joke!
