You knew it was coming, right? I’m complete now…first, I talked about my wedges, then I talked about my shorts, next, I talked about my beachy hair, and now…it’s my bracelets. The four things that make Shay, Shay.
I love, love, love wearing an armful of bracelets. I always wear them stacked against my watch on my left arm. I would feel naked without them. (Ok, maybe not naked, but I would feel sad without them.)
I have some tips and tricks to bracelet stacking…and then some great examples. Try it! It’s the most low maintenance accessory you will wear.
1. If you’re going to wear a lot of bracelets, then just wear one other piece of jewelry. For me, I wear big earrings and not a necklace. If you wear all three at one time, it’s a little much.
2. Try stacking them on one arm instead of both arms. Again…if you’re going to wear 7 or 8 bracelets on one arm, give the other arm a break. Stacking bracelets doesn’t necessarily mean you wear every single bracelet you have at home at once on both arms. But, if you’re dying to wear two armfuls, then just do 3 or 4 on each arm.
3. Mix metals, mix materials, mix widths, mix, mix, mix your bracelets. Here are some good examples of what I mean…
I mean fabulous, right? Just a few simple bracelets and all of a sudden jeans and a t-shirt just look a little more special. That’s what I love about bracelets.
I buy bracelets at a lot of random places…but here are some of my favorites that are in stores right now. Mix and Match the heck out of them…create your own sense of style with your bracelets.
Here are some of my favorite bracelets right now…and they all have great prices!
I love this bracelet bunch from Loft! What a great bang for your buck! You get 4 bracelets for one price. This bunch also comes in a fun pink color as well…but I think these orange tones would look great for fall. I love stretchy bracelets like this because they don’t bang up against my watch and don’t make a lot of noise when I walk and move my arms.
How fun are these “call of the wild” bracelets?!?! And right now, they’re a part of Nordstrom’s HUGE anniversary sale…so they are extremely marked down! I don’t know which one I like better?!?! They look totally luxe for such a small price!
How fun would one of these animal print bracelets look with one of these studded bracelets?!?…
Gorgeous, right? And layered with something dainty or something substantial…it would like chic and fun layered on your arm. I love the studs!
You could also mix the studded look with one of these…
…how pretty are these bracelets???? I think they look so expensive and they’re only $25! One of these would look gorgeous alone with a watch but they would also look fabulous paired with the hardness of the studded bracelets or animal print ones as well.
If you’re looking for something a little more dainty, these little initial bracelets come in both gold and silver. They’re so sweet! I would get the A for Andrew :).
I also love the cross :). It comes in silver as well.
And then for some color, I like these guys…
Buy one or buy them all, a bangle with a little color adds the right amount of punch to a basic outfit. These from Michael Kors are on sale right now too (I think the turquoise is my fave!).
And I love these too!
This bracelet comes in yellow and black as well.
And this one is only $18 right now! It would be so cute layered with other bracelets!
If you can’t decide, you should click here for all of the bracelets that are now on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Remember my tip…whether you’re wearing something fancy or just a basic t-shirt and jeans…adding a stack of bracelets will make you feel more put together in a snap. Layer, layer layer the sizes, textures, and metals of your bracelets too. Have fun and be playful!
And for my easiest dessert of all time (no baking required!), you must check out my Lemonade Pie…
You won’t believe how simple it is!!
Happy Tuesday!

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD POST! I loved all the examples you gave, and you linked to some GORGEOUS options. You are the bracelet stacking master, and everybody should listen to you on this. So fun!
Excited for today!
Jennifer Cannon says

Kelly Jo says
Great post! I can never find bracelets that fit on my wrists! They are too small so everything slides off or I end up holding my arm up in the air all day! 😉
Beth Ann says
Love this post! I've just really got into bracelet/watch wearing recently. I have a bunch of the hinged bracelets that Sheaffer recommends from Nordstrom. When I bought them, the sales lady said I need to wear an odd # at a time when stacking. Do you go by that rule?
Kelly says
perfect timing! i'm trying to create a new "stack" for an upcoming wedding I'm attending…great suggestions! thanks! 🙂
Mix and Match Mama says
I don't necessarily go by that rule. If you include your watch, then two bracelets makes three things…if you don't, then you're wearing only two bracelets. You can look at it several different ways. Just go with your gut instinct!
Amy Florez says
So fun! You can never own too many bracelets!
Ashley says
I can't wear braclets 🙁 I have the wrists of an infamt! No lie!
Tamara @ The Workout Mama says
Oh I love the big watch look with bracelets. So fun!
Nicole Lee says
You would love Alex and Ani bracelets!
Linda says
This post opens up a whole new world to your oldest fan! Is it okay if I work up kinda slowly? I'm just up to three so far, but this post should speed up the process. XOXO
Sabrina says

aprilparrish says
Great post! Love the studded leather bracelets! I agree- it just makes one feel more complete with a few bracelets on the wrist!!!
Kenzi says
Those are all so cute! Have you ever bought gemelli jewelry? They have bracelets to die for as well as other pieces.
Kim says
On my way to nordys now. Thankfully have Sheaffer's faves and now yours to take with me!! Thanks for the great list of bracelets, my new kors watch was feeling lonely!
Jenna {Real Simple Girl} says
I love layering bracelets, too! Sometimes I'm bad about wearing them to work, though, because I feel like they can be noisy! I like the stretch ones for that reason, too. I love all the ones you featured!! I'm going to have to find some way to store them because my jewelry box is running out of space!!!
Mary Dollar says
Stack'em up!!! Love it!!!
Tracy Boyle says
Shay, I have to quit reading you and Sheaffer! You two are going to make me go broke! I ordered the LOVE bracelet (so cute!)… okay, I ordered TWO. One to give away. And I finally got the wedges that are a MUST HAVE!
Love you guys… keep inspiring us!
