The arm cuff- I love this adornment and am so happy that their popularity is increasing. You can find these just about anywhere now, Free People and Etsy offer a multitude of styles, whether your going for a mod or a bo-ho look, there are so many to choose from. I think that the main reason that this accessory has been seldom seen in the past is that people are intimidated by them and confused about how to wear them. So, I am going to share my favorite ways to show off my summer guns with these beautifully unique pieces of arm candy. I love to pair them with a tank and shorts and lots of rings. I also love to showcase them with a bohemian handkerchief hem skirt or dress and another statement piece like a bib necklace or a belt.

 

From Free People’s 2014 festival lookbook… 2 cuffs with a funky dress and some other statement pieces.

 

Me rocking my dangly coin cuff with shorts, a muscle tee, and boots(with coin boot jewelry) and lots of rings, as per usual.

 

Close up! What a fun piece!

Me again with my more mod, swirly cuff.

Don’t be afraid to show off your arms! Summer is coming and your arms deserve a little attention, so adorn them with this fun and funky accessory!

I am looking forward to being a Campus Correspondant with Her Campus, and can't wait to create a unique space online with the students of Seattle University.
