Day 239 - black chandeliers

Another pair that was a birthday gift from my sister. And another example of intricate filigree and beads. The shape and colours of this pair made me think "gypsy" so I Googled "purple gypsy" to try to find some inspiration for something to write. And Google did not disappoint. I discovered a gypsy punk band who have a song called "Start Wearing Purple":

I love the Internet.

Day 238 - circles

I used to love this pair and wore it often, until I tragically lost one of them. I haven't worn it in ages since it's all by its lonesome. But now I have ear cuffs and super fun oversized earrings and have discovered the joys of asymmetrical earring wearing, so this little guy is back in the game!

Day 236 - crystal pendants

These started their lives as pendants that I bought from Woolworths, but since I don't wear necklaces, I felt that they would make much better earrings. They're a tad on the heavy side so by the end of the day it was kind of a relief to take them off, I must admit. Totally worth it.

Day 235 - fronds

Blog caught up! Yes!

I was surprised this morning (well, almost morning, anyway) when I discovered I hadn't yet worn these because these have been in my collection for absolute yonks.

Day 234 - silver circles

These look vaguely Chinatown-esque but I don't think I actually got them from there. Don't ask where I actually did get them from though because I would just stare at you blankly. I have no idea.

They're pretty though. Simple but interesting. The texture is ringing some bells in my brain but the bells aren't labelled so I can't make any connections. Instead, I will plug my latest show since I wore these to build the stage for it on Saturday. The show is The Actor's Nightmare by Christopher Durang, a hilarious absurdist short play that we are doing at the Masque Theatre next week. Gonna be hysterical. I urge you to come and watch it.

 

Day 233 - pink dummies

These were a hand-me-down from a friend who doesn't wear them any more. They're a little small but I just wore them on one ear and offset them with an ostentatious ear cuff on the other so they still work as Kim earrings.

They certainly brought back some memories. I remember plastic dummy accessories as being a big thing back in the 90s, for some reason. Preferably in some sort of garish colour. Why? What on earth possessed tiny prepubescent brains and made these cool? Although, looking at some of the other accessory trends from the 90s, I suppose these are no more odd than most.

Day 232 - black feathers

Feathers are a great material for earrings because they come in all sorts of colours and are extremely light. The only down side is that they tend to be so light that I forget about them and have a heart-stopping moment every few minutes when I think I've forgotten to wear earrings. Either that or the wind blows them up my nose.
