For those of you with Pandora, Troll beads, Juicy, etc. - do you switch beads to go with different colors of your outfits and/or styles or "mood" of the day? Wondering if you have a collection of beads not on a bracelet that you alternate with? Or do you just buy another empty bracelet to string them on? I'm definitely getting a Pandora but can't decide on scheme or theme. My DH really likes the oxidized look but I'm not sure that I want to commit to that! Perhaps I should just work on 2 separate bracelets!
Changing beads on charm bracelets?

I start out with a plan but then get gifted beads and charms that don't match my original plan and so start to chop and change. I started trying to do an all silver swirly sort of bracelet, but then I needed to use some of those beads on a necklace to go with a huge murano I got for Christmas, so the bracelet now looks a bit bare.
I'd say just do whatever you prefer. If I had the money I'd get as many bracelets as I need for each theme.
My bff switches out her beads to match the season. I...I'm a lot lazier than that. Once I had enough beads to complete, I re-organized, but it's done. It stays. On the other hand, my bracelet is color-themed as pink and green, so what would I switch it out with, I guess? lol
I change my Trollbeads out on a weekly basis. Not to match outfits, but to create themes like Mardi Gras, team spirit, holidays. Sometimes just for fun!
If I really like a combo, I write it down in my agenda so I can recreate it later.

I'm far to lazy to change beads daily to match outfits, therefore I created very neutral bracelets that will match most outfits....The only thing i would change would be muranos to add colour in spring/summer.... Again though, It's just way to much effort for me!!! lol
