Have you seen some women traipsing around town with The Stack? I’m referring to an enormous amount of arm candy in the form of fancy jewels they pile high on one or both wrists. I swear they look like they are sporting Wonder Woman’s magic bullet repellent cuffs but on steroids. So I’m just warning you that should you cross paths with one of these gals, they could probably end you with a simple flick of their wrist. Or kill an opponent if they did so choose with their bevy of nail heads, fancy screws, links, layers, studs, and generally sharp edges. Warning– The photos you’re about to see might cause you permanent visual harm. Who knew accessories could be so dangerous?
Personally I was taught to NOT wear every single accessory I own at the same time. I’m fine with a tangle of two necklaces or a duo of complementary bangles. Tasteful, yes? But when you get into the seven or eight bracelets and layered adornments, I’m wondering how these women are even able to hail a cab? It must be like lifting a bar of gold with your rotator cuff just to wave your arm in the air. Maybe I’m too practical for this sort of trend?
And a ring on every finger too? In addition to The Stack? Aren’t you just asking to be mugged?? It reminds me of the Tony Orlando and Dawn song, Sweet Gypsy Rose. “She’s got rings on her fingers and bells on her toes. Say, has anybody seen my sweet Gypsy Rose?” I think our sweet girl has been hit by some heavy metal indeed. But the question is, can she be saved?
Fashion trends come and go. And then of course they come raging back years later… and with a vengeance. This is one trend that I hope disappears quickly and never returns. Armed, dangerous and a menace to metal detectors is not how I want to go through my life, or airport security. But hey, if they want to risk their fortunes to clank around like shiny targets, who am I to raise my hand for a one finger salute?
