We talked to a friend about how she chooses earrings. Her earrings always look great so I am sharing what she said (and how she said it) here.

Earrings With Personality

I have a wide variety of tastes and what I like when looking for earrings. I enjoy ones that are unique, but not extreme. I usually look with a friend and base my decisions on whether those type of earrings have looked good on me. I lean towards medium size silver hoops because I think that they are classic and almost always in style. Plus they are able to dress up an outfit that may be more casual. I also look for studs that fit comfortably and with a dash of color.

What to Do When Have Multiple Piercings

Since I have several pierced holes in my ears, I usually wear at least four earrings at a time. I like earrings that highlight and accentuate what I am wearing or my eyes. I am not a big fan of earrings that are so over the top that they are the main thing that others noticed. I think that small studs with different colored gemstones are adorable and a great accessory. I also think that studs that are small, but creative are awesome. For example, I have worn small studs that were made of sterling silver that were shaped like hands or I also wear a pair that is geckos. I think that adds a hint of fun and humor as well as depicts part of of who I am.

Metals Are Important

One aspect that is crucial for me is checking out the metal. Although it is fun to get some funky cheap earrings, I know I personally am aware that I need to change them because the mental used may cause discoloring. It is important to monitor the amount of time I will be wearing earrings because I want to keep my ears in good shape.

Shopping Tips

I think shopping for earrings can be a lot of fun, it is usually the small details that may attract me more to a pair. I also think it is important to try out what new styles are and I usually have seen someone wearing them or they are displayed prominently at the store. Although I mentioned that I am not a fan of the over the top earrings, it is important to have a few fancy pairs that may compliment an outfit or display some fun. Earrings are a great way to show some of an individual’s personality and it is all about what makes you feel comfortable and confident.
