These remind me of the ones we made each other back in 3rd grade. They don't have all the fancy mixed media elements that are currently hot right now, so I mix them into my wardrobe with other arm candy: watches, rhinestone bracelets, gold bangles, leather wrap bracelets. I love the eclectic feel of it.
Friendship bracelets feel so wonderfully low key that pairing them with über lux items is a fun game of contrasts. Plus, the bracelets themselves add a wonderful punch of color that will be perfect for summer days (or for pretending it's summer already).
Here are some other ways I've worn these:

I think they are totes fun! I don't wear that many accessories but I am totes lovin' #4 & #6!
I so remember when we used to make those! : )
hmmm...it would be fun to make one of these again!!
I remember making them too..in 2nd or 3rd grade? It's a cheap and cheerful way of adding a little colour to outfits. You're right, they do look eclectic. I bought a few from Peru a few years ago, so will have to bring them out!
I think this look is so fun. I tried making one the other day and tied the knots way too tight, so it curled up on itself.
