This always happens, but, man, am I bummed about tossing all those one-shoulder tops I had in college. Because they are positively back! The styles were spotted all over the runways back in September, and the fashion buyers wasted no time getting them in stores (just as I have wasted no time adding many to my wish list). From tailored-yet-deconstructed shirts to romantically ruffled sundresses, there are plenty of styles to choose from—enough for a varying range of tastes (I personally have my eye on this one, which also hits notes of Beauty and the Beast—because, obviously). But they do all have one thing in common: bare arms (or at least one bare arm, anyway). And bare arms call for—you know where this is going, right?—bracelets. Doesn’t matter what kind: cuffs, bangles, petite little chains—heck, combine them all and have an arm party. But this is your way of working with a fashion trend to promote certain pieces in your store, particularly if your clientele is of the fashion-forward nature. Get that selection front and center, and sprinkle in newness, too: Here are some of my favorites for the new season.
