Earrings

I had my ears pierced the week I got my first pay packet. Mum didn't approve so she refused to pay.
I mostly wear hoops but sometimes studs. I have a short neck so never wear danglers.
The hoops I have in now were a Christmas pressie, I put them in on the day and haven't taken them out since. Anyone else sleep with hoops in ?
They are gold

I love earrings too and usually pick up a "treat" (or two) when I am passing Accessorize an accessories shop. I often wear earrings that don't necessarily match my outfit - like bright pink ones with a red dress

However, I stopped wearing danglers when a beautician said to me (I had danglers on that day) that "you want to avoid anything with vertical lines after a certain age" ... plus I would prefer to avoid this

I get my love of earrings from my mother, she used to say she felt naked without them, and we took her favourite pair off after she died.

I agree J52 I don't think danglers are dated at all. There are some fabulous ones in the Plumo catalogue that came today
I just find some of mine a bit heavy sometimes.

I love earrings and always wear them. As to the style, it depends on what I'm wearing and how I have my hair. I didn't know they went in and out of fashion. X

I like very small studs for everyday wear. I don't have many long dangly earrings - rather short drop ones of various styles.If I get bored with my already massive collection, I go on Ebay where you can find almost any style at very reasonable prices. It's one of my few extravagances

(Mind you, I have studs of all shapes, sizes and colours, so not too austere! )

I've changed to studs over the last 10 years or so, too. I have lots of dangly ones which I used to love wearing, but some of them do look dated, or otherwise 'not right' on me now!

Hey Petallus

I love danglers, and like scarves round my neck, I've continued to wear danglers whatever the current fashion. My view is I can wear what I like. I've just bought a pair of glorious danglers in Greece. I now only wear one ear ring in each ear, though I did enjoy the early 80's phase for several studs in one ear, and a dangler in the opposite one.

Go for it - choose the ones you like, and if it's studs, that's a good choice as well. I have some lovely studs for more formal do's, or if I'm wearing a chunky necklace and feel danglers would be too much
