Pearl earrings have been a staple in my wardrobe since I can remember. My father used to spend a lot of time in Japan, and would bring my sister and I back these beautiful Mikimoto pearl earrings. I became an expert at losing one perfectly matched Mikimoto pearl earring at an early age. Going through my jewelry even now I still find the occasional lonely pearl stud. In high school I discovered the beauty of different sizes and hues pearl earrings came in, and in college I put this to use. My theory in college was this; the less pretty you feel, the bigger pearl earrings you should wear. Not kidding. If I was hung-over, not wearing any makeup, or couldn’t be bothered to put together a cute outfit, huge pearl earrings were necessary. If I couldn’t dazzle you with my appearance that day, I would distract you with my earrings. Looking back I cannot decide if this was absolutely ridiculous or unbelievably brilliant.
Lately, I have found my earlobes are in a rut. I wear the same, modestly sized, beautiful, dainty, white pearl earrings daily. They go with everything. They look good with my hair up or down, and I am convinced they make my teeth look whiter. Yet still, I wear the exact same pair of earrings almost daily. Of course I change it up with hoops once in a while, or the occasional pair with sparkle for special events, but I needed a change up in the daily routine. I found the most beautiful pair of Kate Spade earrings that are definitely different and beautiful, but I think slightly understated enough to throw into the line up. I am hoping these will keep me out of my pearl rut these days.
Just a hint at my pearl collection. The one on the far right is obviously for those total hot mess kind of days.
Kate Spade New York Big Time Lever Back Earrings, the latest addition to the line up.
Brilliant!
