One of the must-have accessories for Spring 2011 is the oh-so-colorful bangle bracelet. But don’t stop at just one. No, this trend requires a half a dozen or more! Prada showed the look in their Resort 2011 collection but you can grab a similar bunch o’ bangles in all the colors of the rainbow for a whole lot less dough when you opt to go vintage.

And once you’ve got the skinny take care of, you can move on the more substantial version of the trend that showed up at Marc Jacobs:

And once again, it’s vintage to the rescue!

There are plenty of inexpensive vintage lucite, leather, wood, and enamel bracelets to be found at local flea markets, vintage stores and marketplaces like Etsy.

Go ahead! Pick and choose and mix and match to your heart’s content from lovely vintage lucite choices like these:

Pile ’em on — all the way up to your elbow if you’re really brave!  Chunky and thin, shiny and matte, neutrals and colors. Just remember, the more the merrier!

They’re a fun little trend for a vintage fashionista!
