pretty bracelets!

I popped over to forever 21 today, and they had the prettiest pearl and rhinestone bracelets! They are threaded onto stretchy thread, so the pretty part won't partake of gravity and hide under your wrist.

Oooh, a clickly link!



And another close up image



See how you could conceivably take the pearls off, restring it, and turn it into a choker? or buy two and make shoe buckles?

I'm getting into the Victorian trend of wearing two bracelets now that I have two of these. It looks nice, if not a leeetle opulent. But when did I ever complain of opulence??

Oh! We would have so much fun doing a pearly crafting day sometime...
I have OODLES of costume pearls from my Great-Grandmother, that I've been sorting through recently and wanting to re-vamp.

I love the buckle-ish parts!! I miss shopping in the US sooooo much! Great find!

Every time you post about Forever 21, makes me run out to there after work. Stop it. ;)

Guess what? They sell online! I bought the same bracelets as you (please don't hate me for copying... we live on different continents!). I'm definitely deconstructing them to use as shoe buckles. :) I bought some other things too. Getting ready to post pics on my journal.

Yes, the photo is also a link to the bracelet online so anyone can buy it immediately. I believe that shopping goodness should be shared!! Making the world a more stylish place one purchase at at time :D Enjoy the crafty goodness!

LOL!! If you click on the link, there's no reason to drive there...

*ducks as you throw a shoe at my head*

Share the shopping goodness if you end up getting anything!

Dang! butterballbunny has been trying to convince me to go there, and I haven't. Bad me.
And I was thinking "shoe buckles" when I saw the photo.

Actually...

Excellent! I got the same "medal" brooch. Now, take some black liquid shoe dye and turn that lumberjack/tablecloth ribbon into an elegant black one. It works like a charm!

Indeed, I had a similar idea.
