Favorites

#190 is the last post showing an individual pair of earrings, wrapping up the Earring Appreciation Project. It's true that there are a handful of post-backed earrings that I didn't picture, but out of about 200 pairs of earrings, you saw 190 of them.

This was a really interesting exercise for me in recognizing just how many different pairs of earrings I have and why I tend to wear the same ones over and over while neglecting others. There are definitely pairs of earrings I have given away since wearing them as a part of this project, because I realized they just aren't me--color, look, whatever.

So, as I wrap up this little project, I want to just feature some of my favorite earrings that I know I'll keep coming back to over and over.

I got these at Something Silver in the shopping area outside of Disneyland in Anaheim.

I can't for the life of me remember where I got these. I think I got them on vacation somewhere, but I'm drawing a total blank.

Oh, dear. This is another one of my first pairs of handmade earrings. I had no idea what I was doing when I made these. I love the look and the concept, though, so I think I'll just re-work them with the proper materials.

From Target. Love the dangly chains and those knots. So fun.
