No matter the makeup of our individual and diverse body parts, our limbs - be they natural or prosthetic - are the trusty structure upon which fashion items rest.
Right now the world of fashion seems to be encouraging us to accentuate certain parts more than others. The boobs, for example, seem to be taking a breather as the ear and the wrist are open for decorative business.
Now, will you go all out and APPLY ALL trends to body in a move that sees Iris Apfel gasp at the sigh of your 'excess'. Or merely incorporate one trend into your spring and summer everyday lookbook?

Or show off some hot piece of ankle in an ankle exposing slider. The fluffier the better.
Wrists
The dusty pink "goldfish dress" that made the entire Prabal Gurung audience slobber with drool, has romanticised the wrist in a way that only someone as deranged as Romeo or Juliette could understand.
