Arm Candy 'Alternatives' | ASOS

Following on from my recent arm-candy finds at Nelly.com, I found that some of the prices of the pieces were 'insane' and totally out of my student budget. However, I've been casually 'screen-shopping' on the ASOS website and found many alternatives to the pricey few I found earlier.

Looking through these I can already see how I would style them and which I'd layer and put together. It's obvious some do not remotely similar to the nelly.com ones but being different and unique is what makes the world go round. I hope this has helped some of you thinking of accessorising your wrists whilst still being on trend and not breaking the bank! I may do a 'How I Style Arm Candy' soon if you'd like to see it. What do you think about these alternatives?

Nelly.com | Arm Candy

How I manage to find myself on random sites, I have no idea. However, I recently came across the site nelly.com which I believe is a worldwide fashion site that also sells top designer brands as well as high street. Their prices on most things are somewhat affordable for the compulsive shopper, or a luxury to the student that I am. Despite this, I am seriously loving the choice of trends and have everything for everyone and I am going to show you some of my favourite pieces; first is arm candy!

I used to be a fan of lots of bangles or lots of bracelets a couple of years back, but now when I look at those pictures I just feel uncomfortable because it all looks a bit much. After endless scrolling on Lookbook.com and other blogs I have the answer to 'to arm-candy or not to arm candy?'

Personally, I think some of these bracelets (especially the rope ones) are way overpriced and I've seen some dupes and alternatives in high street stores for a fraction of the price. But I guess it's nice to dream. Some of these I understand are made from real leather, real animal skin, real silver and gold and all that jazz hence the price. But to be honest, when you are wearing it, who is going to realise whether it's real or fake? Good ol' High Street eh?
