Bracelets are still on the top of popularity this summer. So, here is a little bit tips how when and where to wear bracelets. The main rule is quite simply, big-boned women with larger wrists can wear larger bracelets and bangles whereas small-boned women can wear smaller bracelets and bangles.

It doesn’t matter which of your two wrists you wear your bracelets so long as you are not wearing a watch at the same time. If you are wearing a watch, wear your bracelet on the alternative wrist.
You can wear multiple bangles, though not multiple metals. Silver or gold, never both. When wearing multiple bangles, your arm jewelry (jewellery) becomes not only a visual piece but an auditory piece to. What we mean by this is that bangles should have a ‘music’. When multiple bangles jangle together they should produce a beautiful percussive sound.

Probably you could hardly think about regular sandals you are wearing this hot summer day by day. But there are a lot of amazing facts I’m sure you don’t know but could be interesting for you. For instance in ancient Egypt, the sandal demonstrated a person’s rank in society. I guess today is the same situation but not in every case. In ancient Egypt slaves either went barefoot or wore crude sandals made from palm leaves. Common citizens wore sandals of made from woven papyrus and such colors as red or yellow were taboo for anyone below the aristocratic rank.

In the days of ancient Greece, aristocratic women owned as many as twenty pairs of shoes, with a style to match every occasion. Slaves were employed solely to carry a supply of their lady’s shoes when she left it at home. The Chinese custom of binding women’s feet to keep them small is many centuries old. During the middle Ages the sandal were more used as protective footwear. At the beginning of the twelfth century a shoe cut roughly from a single piece of wood, was the predominant footwear of the European peasant. In those times, the Dutch were not unusual in their use of the wooden shoe. In England, the sabot took the form of the clog, a fabric mounted on a wooden platform. In Japan, wooden shoes mounted on thin blocks three or four inches high have been worn for centuries.
