Sometime last week in the depths of a twitter conversation Giselle from Mychameleon said that the best thing about petitegrand bracelets was how they were so delicate and dainty and yet they could still hold their own against a cuff or larger piece. I loved the idea of that, and had to try it out today. Style for me is all about balance, playing converse or contrasting elements against each other. Tops that slip down one shoulder, long hems and short sleeves, hair half up, half down. I think wearing one delicate little bracelet and one bigger piece is another fantastic move down this vein. I've been itching to give this a go for a little while, so it was fun this morning to play with proportion and see what worked. I have to say Benah's beautiful Kodi Cuff is perfect for this kind of jewellery layering (ha!). Although a larger piece, it doesn't dominate because of its simple, yet oh so beautiful design. It's the perfect partner to a dainty little charm bracelet of stars and red beads, or my Isabel Marant pink bracelet with chiffon puff. Definitely going to be trying this again!
