Before I started wearing hijab back in 2007 I was earring mad but the whole process of covering your hair and therefore my ears the majority of the time meant that since my ears were hidden due to the style of hijab I was wearing that earrings pretty much seemed like a giant waste of time. Because of that it's probably been a long seven years since I bought myself any.
I got my hands on this pair of demure yet glam earrings courtesy of ChicWish, choosing this particular pair because I wanted something small yet chunky enough to cover my not so little ear lobes. These were pretty much the perfect size for me. Teeny tiny earrings just get lost on my big fat head.
I've worn them a lot at home and had them on the whole time I was in hospital so I didn't feel like total shit (hospitals make you gross). It was nice to be a tad bit dressed up when you're standing in front of a hospital bathroom mirror looking at yourself in an awkward hospital gown covered in God knows what kind of bodily fluid stains. Giving birth may be a beautiful experience but it sure doesn't look pretty.
I've always erred away from cheaply priced earrings because cheap jewellery tends to leave weird blue markings on my skin from the crap "metal" (clearly saying that word loosely) and find the smaller the detailing, the more likely it is they will fall out after being worn a time or two. This pair I've had for about a month now and worn a lot and the tiny embellishments have not budged at all.
They currently cost $11 from here and for that cheap price I'm more than happy with the quality, especially since the tiny faux diamonds and pearls have stayed completely in place. By signing up with them you can also get a big 30% off your first order. The clothing is already very affordably priced too so the discount makes it even better. I have been sent a few clothing items from ChicWish as well that I will be reviewing for you guys before I fly off to Malaysia for a girls trip at the end of the month. Look out for them!
