Earrings for everyone!

I'm one of those girls that don't have ear piercings. Having heard too many piercing horror stories, I'm not planning to have my ears pierced any time soon. Yeah yeah I know, it's not that scary, but I'm a scardy cat yea yea yea...nonetheless, I still get attracted to the beautiful earrings and yearns to buy them. But I can't wear them! I told myself. Until now.

OMG! Discovery of the century! I didn't know why I didn't thought of it earlier!

I can buy earings and wear them too! no not the clip on kind that hurt, I'm talking about the stud kind!

The stud earrings can also function as pins or broaches and are much more versatile! I'm a genius (I wish).

Here are some example earrings:

Those earings are pretty cute right? here are some wonderful uses, other than on the ears:

- scarf. Just hang a scarf around the neck, cross them, and pin an earring where it crosses. If you have a solid color scarf that have straight edges with no tassels or fancy stuff, pin a row of the same earrings on the end. Imagine a plain, white, knitted scarf, the long rectangular kind. Imagine a row of the rose-gold buttons featured above pinned on the ends. See? isn't it adorable? If you are hanging it at the end, these kinds works too:

- Dresses/skirt/shirt/cardigan: have a solid color sheath dress? imagine the 3 button earrings pinned in a row on one side of the collar. Or perhaps in a vertical row in the middle as fake buttons on your basic tee. Remember those buttonless cardigans? if you want to switch it up, pin it close using a stud earring. It's more unique than a button, and it's not as loud as a broach, which is usually bigger.
- Bags: the same way you would any broach. Use one at a strategic place, or put a couple in a row. You can even dress up a plain bag with a ribbon and pin the ribbon to the bag with the earrings! this way you won't have nasty glue leftover in case you decide to have the original bag back.
- necklace/bracelet: the closed hanging kind like the red one above would probably be the best. It's like a charm bracelet/necklace, except consists of your favorite earrings. Or just add an earring or two to the charm bracelet/necklace you already own.
- decoration/borders: Have a plain lampshade? add a ribbon as a border and pin the end together with an earring. Have a plain picture frame? ditch the back and just use the stud as a normal pin. Or ditch the back and just use the stud as a normal pin like thumb tack, pin something on your board. The rose-gold buttons will look elegant and classy on the board in your office, and no one will know it was an earring!

There are so many possibilities! I will be shopping for earrings now, see you later! =)
