I may not always agree with my mom when it comes to style, but I have always agreed with her that pierced ears (especially if you only have one hole in each ear like I do) need to always have earrings in them. I need to have
something, no matter how small, in my ears. Otherwise, I feel like I look strange; not to mention, adding earrings is one of the quickest and easiest ways to add polish to a laid-back outfit.
A couple of days ago, I lost a back to the pair of my everyday earrings. I am a creature of habit...perhaps too much so. I literally wear these earrings every single day! Instead of running to pick up a pair of earrings exactly like them, I decided to try and branch out a bit. I picked up a pair of gold pyramid studs and some button earrings similar to the ones below at CUSP. Together, the two pair of earrings cost around $65.
Even though I know I'll go back to my everyday pearls eventually, it's nice to shake things up. I have several events coming up that the blingy button earrings will be perfect for; also, they'll look great with all of my scarves. The pyramid studs will be a great backup basic for when I want to do something a little more exciting than my usual pearls.
Out of the earrings I posted below, I think the hexagonal silver pearl studs are the most interesting. It's nice to be reminded that it can be fun and productive to go outside my comfort zone!
