Pound them man-cessories on? Possibly.

It comes to no surprise that I'm a bit obsessed with accessories man-cessories. As gents we really don't have as much to play with in the clothing department as our sexy counterparts do, so I make up for it with a sicktastic lineup of man-cessories. Bracelets, watches, necklaces, rings- you name it, I have it. From simple to the eccentrically ornate... I don't leave my house without some shindigs. I'm a very detailed oriented person and I analyze everything and everyone around me within 2 seconds of entering a room and I notice EVERYTHING and little things like such always capture my full respect. Although I have yet to massively pile on crap tons of man-cessories, I am definitely entertaining the idea of a bold look. 
I am currently inspired by...
Xoan by Sean P. Watters
and...
Mateusz Farenholc by Piotr Porebski for Exklusiv June 2010

I really want to find a dapper and non-chalant way to rock this mounds-of-frills look and not look like one of those purposely eccentric and 'look at me I'm so out-of-the-box crazy' kiddos (I'm looking at you Gagaloo & Bobby Trendy!). Subtle yet bold with a hint of edginess- is that even possible? I guess I'll just let this marinate over some drinks for now. 
Thoughts?
