Who's there? It's me, your delinquent blogger.
I know I have been less than exciting over the last few weeks but I have been studying hard for the GMAT, which I took yesterday and now never have to think about ever again! Whoo hoo!
Okay, enough about me. How have you been? Rummaging through someone's closet or your favorite thrift store, I hope. Find anything good? I'd love to hear about it! Send me a photo of something you've borrowed and tell me its story, and I'll feature it here!
Now on to the earrings...
I titled this post "Knock Knock" because these earrings remind me of mini door knockers. They belonged to my great aunt and when I found them I feel in love immediately. Only they were clip-ons. Ugh. My earlobes turn bright red and cringe at the thought.
I can't tell you how many pairs of clip-on earrings I have stumbled upon over the years looking so cute and retro and taunting me from behind the jewelry counter. Until now.
I took these earrings to a local jeweler and had the clips replaced with posts. $10 and I had myself a new favorite pair of earrings! This may seem obvious to some of you, but I had honestly never even considered the possibility. Just like the first time I went to a cobbler (please tell me you use a cobbler) and felt like I had finally been let in on the biggest secret.
Now, I don't suggest you turn every pair of clip-on earrings into posts, but if you just have to have them or find some that have sentimental value like I did, it's totally worth the investment. I'm also sure you can shop around and find a better price, or try bundling a few repairs together and ask for a multiple-piece discount.
Don't you just love a good secret? It's okay, you can pass this one on. Earlobes everywhere will thank you.
