After a recent post on {Monogram Monday: Gold Nautical Cuff}, @Niki1244 asked me about how I build a stack with color. I prefer stacks that have pops of color simply because my professional work wear color palette is pretty neutral. I like having some whimsy in my life and found a fun stack, or arm party as some call it, is the perfect complement to a conservative work outfit. After all, we all need some fun from 9 ‘til 5 : )
So we start with the basics. These are the metallic of the group to hold the stack together. Even though they aren’t as colorful, you can still have fun touches on these bangles like on the cable cuff from Swell Caroline.

Okay, now’s the fun part! Which colors are you wearing? Which colors in your outfit do you want to pop? If you’re wearing a neutral ensemble, you have a wonderfully blank canvas to work with and can go in whichever direction you choose. My favorite colorful bangles include
Finish your arm party with a statement piece that will stick out from the pack…er, stack!
Think of your stack as colorblocking for your wrist! Throw the rules out the window and be as daring as you want to be. Experiment with colors and find out what works for you.
Personally, I wear no more than 4 pieces in a stack during the week at work. While stacks are adorable, they don’t exactly make typing an easy task. You can also stash a couple bangles into your work tote to wear later at a happy hour!
I hope this was helpful, follow me on {Instagram} for more arm candy inspiration!
