I have two fabulous baskets in my closet filled with bangles. 



My mother thinks I have a sickness because I keep buying more bracelets.  I guess there is something to say about a inexpensive retail therapy fix.  Similar to buying a new lipstick to make you feel better.  I buy a new bangle to lift my spirits, but now I have too many choices. 

So,  I decided to trade in some of my chunky bangles for some new wrist candy!  First, I went shopping in Matt's drawer for the old school Tag Heuer then I dug up my favorite square bamboo piece.  I was so excited to layer my newly acquired funky charm bracelet from a friend and then I topped it off with my late Grandmother's gold engraved wedding bangles!

 I love the mix of textures; the essence of antique paired with the contemporary and the juxtaposition of costume jewelry with precious metal.

 Plus I got my fix without spending a penny!
