I've seen some impressive arm parties... bracelet after fabulous bracelet after multiple bangle that take up half a forearm. When I try to layer that many bracelets I end up feeling awkward and looking like a shackled prisoner. And when I stack bracelets only on one arm, I feel lopsided... shortly after my anal retentiveness kicks in and I feel the strong need to create symmetry. It's very possible/highly likely that I'm over thinking my accessorizing. So here is my mini party - more like a small gathering... Who knew an arm party could be so exclusive? :)

I think you did a great job at your arm party. It looks great! I'm especially in love with that "love" ring.

I love your arm party. I sometimes feel the same, but other times I could stack an endless pile of bracelets :p I really like that dress too!
haha definitely loving your small arm gathering! I wish I could wear more, but I would always need to take them off at work. So I just stick with my watch :)

Looks like a great party to me! Especially those rings! Is that a belt buckle I'm seeing? Adorable!

Love that dress! I have a similar shorter one that will on my blog tomorrow!
Looks pretty good ;) I love to wear many bangels,bracelets etc. ;) xx
It's true! Sometimes its a party and other times is just a small get together of a couple chosen ones. Haha. Love that 'Love' ring. - Carla
Your maxi is gorgeous and I love the arm party! I can never fit bracelets that fit my tiny wrists so I'm always jealous of arm parties!

Well I'm totally envious of your maxi. What a great dress!!
Your dress is amazing, love this look!! I also really like your hair pulled back like that :)
Take care, Daniella xox
I love the dress and the arm parties! Whenever I try to stack ten thousands bracelets on one hand I feel like such a fake! My bracelets rarely make it through the morning with all their jangling!
Cute post... your comments are so clever! I agree your hair pulled back looks great!
I love this dress on you! You look amazing and the arm party is just so pretty.

It's a good start to an arm party! I'm not real good at it either, I just stack on bracelets that I think compliment each other.
Such a pretty dress!!
Gorgeous dress! I've seen so many great things coming out of JC Penney lately - I may need to give them another try!

Heather! This dress is gorgeous :) You look STUNNING! And the lighting in these pics is amazing! Love your arm party :) So pretty! :)

Love this arm party, but I also think your awesome dress needs a shout out!

I feel exactly the same! I always think seeing these "huge" armpartys that it looks great, but when I try it on my wrist, I feel so strange, and I make so much noise with all these things on my arms! In german we have a nice expression for to much jewellery: "klim-bim" , I love to use it, it makes a nice sound when pronouncing it ;-)
Between, I love your dress and I think you found a good "middle" way for the arm party! Small to middle parties can also be a great party ;-)

Haha, I know what you mean! I like how your "arm small-gatherings" turned out though. I hardly ever buy bracelets so my arms are more likely to be more "arm date-nights" or "arm single and alone at the bar". Maybe I need to buy some bracelets!
Seriously, Heather, you look so pretty here! love the dress!

This post should be titled maxi dress envy because that's what I'm having as I look at these pictures. Looking chic and cool as usual!
I really like your arm party! They're all slim and delicate, but they look so nice piled on both wrists together! I agree that sometimes they can get too "shackle" like, so it's a delicate balance. Love the dress too!
great dress... it fits you perfectly!

Hey there,
The amped up accessories really made your outfit. It's funny but, accessories can step it up for real. This is a nice get together but, I dare you to throw a Project X party for your arm! ;)
Always,
Tarah and the City
Very true! The elusive arm party is just like any other party: you need an invitation. haha ... I see what you're saying.
I love stacking my bracelets and just having so much fun playing with different combinations!!!
Love the hypnotic print of the dress.

I have yet to perfect the arm party and everytime I think I've devised a formula, I find something more awesome and think...this party sucks! I love what you did hear, it looks great with the dress and realistically. I wonder if anyone really wears their arm parties beyond the photos. Try wearing that to the office one day, or going to dinner...Not very convenient, take it from someone who tried it.
love this maxi dress! your hair looks so pretty pulled back like that!
