I’ve never been much of a fan of dangly earrings. When I was about ten, my mum shared a story about a woman who tore her ear while horse riding because her earrings snagged on a tree branch. That story has stuck with me all my life, influencing my choice of earrings—simple, non-dangly ones that won’t get caught up in branches while riding my completely imaginary horse.
Lately, I’ve started to relax a bit about my earring choices. This change in attitude is partly because I don’t own a horse and rarely find myself horse riding, especially after a disastrous pony trekking event right before my wedding. Plus, always wearing the same glittery studs can get a bit monotonous. Sometimes you just want to shake things up a bit—add a little excitement. Maybe even brush past a well-trimmed hedge or crawl through the underbrush on all fours…
When I saw these Rachel Roy star earrings on ASOS.com, I knew I had to have them. They seem perfect for almost any occasion. They add a cool and effortless edge to casual outfits and look glam with something dressier. Whether you’re going for a rock chick vibe or a more elegant look, they’ll match your style. I’ve received lots of compliments on them, to which I always reply, “THEY WERE THIRTY-TWO QUID! ASOS!” Does anyone else have this habit of blurting out the price when you score a great deal? Anyway, they’re not thirty-two quid anymore; they’re now twenty-four. You can check them out here.
