Chain Gang

As much as I love floral prints, delicate fabrics and feminine colors I don't want to look too cute as much as a second grader. I would prefer toughening up my attire by adding simple accessories which will balance by delicate pieces. I don't want to look too masculine either, that is why I love to incorporate few small additions which would make it look like a good balance. Right now I am too overwhelmed by studs and need a bit of change. This is making me turn towards the chains starting for the channel inspired jackets to Anklet pumps and chain headbands. These are the pieces I really want to play with. What's your go to trend to make it look Androgynous? Studs or chains?

    I personally love the chain look, more than studs. I've been looking to buy, or make a multiple chain necklace tied together with a bow. Its the perfect mix of toughness and softness!

    I prefer chains to studs, although I do love both. I also like using tailored clothing and leather to toughen up an outfit.

    I love both and totally agree that I like to have a balacne between feminine and edgy. That Michael Kors watch you posted is ridiculous! I've never seen it before and I'm in love. I have the gold one with the diamonds already, but I might need that one too! Hope you ahve a great weekend.

    I had second thoughts of chains pairing with clothing but some pieces really do pull it off.

    Thanks for ur comments on my blog!! reg. mixing florals with pattern - it is not a fashion risk ( I should have not have written that since clothes are all abt having fun!!) but has to be done just right. Personally, since I am not that creative, I will look like Lady Gaga with a bit of Mughda Godse throw in-)

    U go for it, girl and do post the pictures!!

    I love the chains on those shoes you posted! I think I'm getting more into chains than studs right now too - you can only stud so many things until you get sick of it, lol!

    I love them both, but have been wearing chains for years before the whole studs phenomenon appeared on the scene. Love them both equally though so theres no way I could choose!
