Penchant for Leather Wristbands

Since high school, I always get so enamored with ladies who wore leather wristbands like the ones below. 

I just thought that they looked so cool and it somehow shows the animus sides of women. You may look quite feminine with a floral dress but if you accessorize it with a leather wristband, I  get the feeling that you are not someone to play easy with. I don't know, but that's just how it strikes me. Look at Avril Lavigne rocking it. I may not be a big fan of her but I couldn't just help featuring her here. Back in high school I couldn't afford it and I didn't know where to get them. But now that I am already have my own income, I  made sure not to pass out the chance when I saw one at Robinson's Novaliches. It was worth 80.00 pesos but I tried to haggle for 50.00 pesos with the masculine-looking man at the stall. Luckily, he gave it and I was just so ecstatic. It's my first purchase!

But I'm not a big fan of this too many/messy style.

TRIBU ni JERRY - This is the stall I was telling you about. 

 They also sell vodoo dolls and some 'anting-anting' looking necklaces like the ones here. If you'll see closely, there is a small vial containing a real skeleton of a lizard. 

 There are a few options, like the single-belted, double-belted and triple-belted leather wristbands available in white, plain black, black and brown and black & white. I bought the brown and black one.

(Second Day) Since I was a bit so 'ignorannte' I wore it right the next day to work. 

(Third Day)

 So there. But I try to match it with appropriate outfits. Since tomorrow we have to wear formal clothes to work, I won't be able to wear it.
