[oomph] worthy: metallic tattoos.

with tiny wrists, it's always been a challenge to find a great arm stack. while i have found a few gems throughout the years, i've missed out on popular favorites, like the pave link bracelet, because they were too big. still want that one, tho!


Metallic Tattoos


metallic tattoos burst onto the fashion scene recently, and it took me a while to jump on the bandwagon...i mean, temporary tattoos? i like 'em real, haha! but curiosity got the best of me, and i ordered a pack from flash tattoos.



i have been wearing them non-stop. i throw on a few at a time and love the way they have been filling the void in my arm stacks.

some of the tattoos are gold and silver which is a great way to ease into mixing metals. my favorite has been throwing on a few skinny gold and silver bracelets...along with the metallic tattoos, it's almost like having a full stack of bracelets. #winning

it's also great for when i'm running.
um, who wears jewelry when they're exercising? i do. i can still wear jewelry without the jingling and jangling!

bohemian chic.

bohemian can mean different things depending on the individual. in general, the look gives off a romantic and free-spirited feeling. it's easy to say you want to look like nicole richie but difficult to execute, so make sure to tailor the look to suit your personal style.

here's the breakdown of my bohemian outfit:
(and ideas for creating yours)

1. a soft, flowy dress
(think gauzy dresses, soft flared denim, comfortable maxi skirts, denim cutoffs)

2. tie dye pattern and ruffled hem
(details - unconventional patterns, embellishments and embroidery, crochet insets, fringe)



3. cute sandals
(think open-toed sandals or slippers for dresses, chunky platforms for flared denim)


4. a crossbody bag
(satchels, sling bags, natural fabrics or colorful patchwork)


5. loose waves
(keep hair unfussy with natural loose waves or a messy bun, or throw in a braid or try a headscarf)

(necklaces top to bottom: kendra scott; capwell & co.; 9th & elm)

6. pile on the jewelry
(instead of one statement necklace, try layering several pieces in varying lengths; add a second or third ring)


i didn't do this last one because it's still hot here, but...
7. layer up
play around with proportions and lengths. a long scarf is just right over a tee and flared denim, cardigans and jackets layered over dresses, and kimonos over cutoffs.


i have a hard time finding bracelets that fit, so i have been loving jewelry inspired tattoos like these from flash tattoos. they are super easy to apply and last at least a week for me. after i cut the length to fit my wrist, i love using the extra on my fingers as rings. however, the rings don't last as long since i wash my hands a lot. good enough for a night out, though!
