Jewelry Trend: Braided Bracelets

I love jewelry trends for the same reasons I used to love dating men. 
They are easy to trade out for something/someone else more interesting and there is a low commitment level.

So I am kinda loving the new trend in braided bracelets this spring.  It's like a grown-up version of the jelly bracelet (remember those?)

Middle Row (L-R):

Bottom Row (L-R):

JewelMint Natural Beauty Bracelets - Purchase HERE (I just bought these!)

Reasons to embrace the braided bracelet trend:
1) You can dress them up or down
2) They come in a variety of fun colors
3) These little guys don't take themselves too seriously
4) Available in nearly every price range

For a customized design, consider a braided bracelet as an easy DIY project! 
Leave it to I Spy DIY to share a fun + unique design using buttons:

My wrists are so tiny iy is really hard to find bracelets that stay on :) these are very lovely though! x

@ Nikki - I have the same problem! Both rings and bracelets are difficult for me to find. That is kinda why I like the DIY option for this style...:)

Very cute trend! Like Nikki, I hardly ever find bracelets that fit my petite wrists so I don't wear them too often.
