I have a new theory about what we women should wear when it comes to earrings. An obscure observation… perhaps… but as I spend far too much of my time looking at fashion websites and magazines… and as fashion is one of my greatest loves since forever… I wanted to ask you what you thought about the subject… Lately I have been seeing a lot of ‘drop’ earrings on models, on celebrities and on the street… and I have noticed that they really add that certain je ne sais quoi to a woman’s look… and the best thing about ‘drops… is that they are ageless… rules don’t apply… I find that they add a youthfulness without looking ridiculous… they can highlight a woman’s facial features without presenting as, ‘too much’ or ‘too over the top’… They are the perfect way to be playful, to be fashionable, to remain individual and stylish without looking foolish. I think there is something light hearted about an earring that swings and moves as we do… it’s so much less serious than the more classic ‘stud’ style… I still like studs, very much, but a new pair of well shaped ‘drops’ can really pep up a classic look or re-invigorate an old outfit. This season there is a much black to be had… I am a big fan of black… it is elegant and it covers a multitude… and black suits nearly everyone… I will be wearing black but I want to accent it with fabulous drop earrings… I am going to be brave and highlight my ears… much the safest place to draw attention to. Drop earrings, for some reason, make me feel more put together… as if I have made more of an effort… they make me feel much more à la mode… Drops are also a less expensive way to re-vamp an old outfit… Sometimes we women need a new look but can’t necessarily go all out… A new pair of earrings… especially ‘drops’ can do wonders… Have a brilliant weekend… See you next week… xv
