You uncover a great pair of vintage earrings at a bargain price……..wahooooo! The sales clerk pulls them out for you to try on and……..dang, clip-ons! If you’ve never worn a pair you’re only missing out on the crab claw-like pain they cause to the tender lobe of an ear. Who wants that? But wait, clip-ons could clip-on to other pieces and parts beside an ear, right? Right!
Create a pendant on a chain
Clip one, or two, on to a scarf
Dress up a belt
Embellish a pair of shoes
Remove the clip and sew the earring on to a pretty hand-made flower. Clip it in your hair, to a belt, a purse or pin it to your blazer.
So, pull out that pair of your grandmas clip-ons and enjoy them!
I’m a jeweler and the award for ‘not so obvious place to wear clip on earrings’ went to a lady who emailed and asked if we had any hoop clip on earrings suitable for use on her … *looks down and blushes*
I’m inclined to endorse your ideas more than hers, Paula!
Well, I always say, “you never know unless you ask” and, she asked. To each his, or her, own. Thanks for passing my, uh, more mainstream ideas along.
Paula You are a style Rock Star…And turning some ones cast offs into amazing FASHION
Rock star? Sweet! I’ve always wanted to be one but I can’t play an instrument and sing like a drowning squirrel. Can you picture it?
I completly appreciate your comment Christy and hope to keep rockin’ your fashion world.
I love this idea! How simple and clever.
Thanks a bunch Sara! I hope you try it sometime. There are so many fabulous clip-ons to be had and the best part is that each pair has a story. I love that!
Hey, I resemble that last comment! (…. pair of your grandma’s….)
Great idea! I’m pulling these vintage earrings out and wearing them on a beautiful scarf today!
Love the ideas! I’m getting better dressed by the week!
Little to no cost way to spice up an outfit, right? Enjoy your day!
