My man bling
Ok so I just made up “man bling”; whatevs.
Over about the past 2 years I’ve been on a slippery slope of accumulating accessories. Mainly starting with an (almost under-control) obsession with rings, starting with 1 and growing up to 5 on occasion; averaging at 2. I also decided it was time to wear a watch again (for the first time in a good 5 years) so I treated myself:
This had me content for quite a while. Until I decided to start passively looking for something to wear on my right wrist. Yesterday I stumbled onto exactly what I was looking for:
This unfortunately led to another slippery slope. Whilst parading around the office getting opinions one of the girls mentioned she had a white one which she wasn’t using ’cause it didn’t fit.
I’m not completely sold mostly ’cause I feel it has a pretty feminine look but I’ve promised to give it a full day because everyone in the office said it looks good.
*EDIT*
Solidgame recently requested where I got my “man bling” so here’s a breakdown to the best of my memory:
- Black & silver ring (right ring finger) is from Metrosexual in Canal Walk.
- Silver ring (left index finger) seen here is from a little shop I found at the Hermanus flea market.
- Thick silver ring (left wedding finger in the above photo) is from a friend who studied jewelry design at Stellenbosch.
- Thin silver ring (left wedding finger in the above photo) is from a Jeweler in Ballito.
- Tribal silver ring (right index finger in the above photo) was from a center court shop in Gateway. One of those little trolley things that don’t seem permanent but they are.
- Fossil watch was from the Fossil shop at Canal Walk.
- Black leather cuff is from a shop called Bogart Man at “The Zone” in Rosebank
- White leather cuff (I was told) is from YDE somewhere in the JHB area.
Let me know if I’ve left anything out and I hope this helps.
Side note: I still haven’t worn the white on in public since the day I got it.
