ohmygod, earrings.

- Opinionated about all things, Angela also happens to have an eye for bold colors and bright accessories. She absolutely cannot live without: hoop earrings, black chucks, glitter gloss, and her kitty, Nala.
I’ve had 9+ holes punched into my ears over the past seventeen years. Why? Because I. Love. Jewelry. The more piercings I have, the more earrings I can wear. I feel absolutely naked without my earrings. And what’s the point of having cute jewelry if you hardly get to wear it? Though I wear studs on my upper seven ear-piercings, I’m all about unique, eye-catching studs, hooks, and hoops for my lobes.
It’s important to remember that earrings, like any other accessory, can make or break an outfit. Apart from a few exceptions, if you’re going for gigantic, neon, unusual, sparkly, or all of the above, everything else about your look (including makeup and hair!) MUST be minimal and neutral-colored, especially if you want the earrings to really be the focal point. If a pair of particularly striking or outlandish one-of-a-kind earrings catches my eye in the store, I’ll probably purchase it, knowing they can always be paired with a black tee and jeans. Keep your eyes peeled for the many pairs of stunning earrings out there and if you want ‘em, get ‘em! They also make really cute gifts if an impulsive earring purchase doesn’t quite work out for you, for some unfortunate reason. Check out a few attention-grabbing pairs that I added to my Kazowie guide list at: Eye-Catching Earrings.
