Upside Down

HAVE YOU EVER WORN YOUR:

- Anklets as head band (mathapatti)
- Long chains (or rani haar) as waist belt (kamarband ) to glam up a saree , fancy dress or your favorite jeans
- Rings in toes
- Anklets as necklace
- Necklace backwards
- Pendant or earrings as a tika
- Cuff bracelet as an armlet.
- Bangles stacked up in a chain, as a pendant.
- Beaded strands as hairband



The idea is to have fun with your jewelry. Experiment and wear it in different ways. Mix and match different accessories and create new look for yourself. After all, you have spent a lot of money in building your collection. It is only fair that you use it to the max.

(I have not been able to visit a lot of blogs recently..Have just been caught up in a few things, but I promise you will see me around really soon :))

I love switching it up...you're right. Sometimes I do a bangle as an arm cuff, or a chaing belt as a necklace.

bollywoodstylediaries said...

I have worn anklet as a necklace but I am going to try bangles as arm cuff..very creative suggestions!!thx

Splurgerina said...

Yes to most of these!! For one, it's fun to go against the norms and secondly, in my case, I have limited accessories..not because I don't like them but because I end up spending most of my money on shoes (it's a real problem!) so this way you can get the most out of what you have!! :p Great post!!

Btw never thought of using anklets and beaded strands as a headband..love that idea!!

Chain belt as a necklace. It's always fun to give things multiple uses.

I'm definitely in need of having fun with my jewellery. It looks so good. I think wearing a necklace backwards would be fun.

Let's see
Rings on toes - check
Pendant or earrings as a tika - check
Anklets as necklace- check
I think I need to try out more of these. Especially, long chains as waist belts, that sounds too cool!

i love jewellery but i don't end up wearing too much of it somehow...big earrings and nice kadas are all that i end up wearing...
