Challenge #181:  How do you wear the statement earring?

Kayla Short, 29 Halifax | Short Presents

“I love a statement necklace or a cocktail ring, but with all the off-the-shoulder necklines and bold prints this spring, earrings seem to be the perfect match . For extra emphasis, I like to sweep my hair back to let the shoulder-dusters do all the talking.”

“Statement earrings are popping up everywhere and my favourite pair are these pink pom poms from Forever21. They add a pop of colour to any outfit and are light-weight enough to wear all day long. Since these fluffy balls make such a statement, no other accessories are required.”

“I’m a big fan of wearing statement earrings and wear them day or night, glam or casual. Worn with a chambray shirt and white sweater, these Club Monaco bobbles add an unexpected element to my laid-back look.”

“I love wearing anything super feminine, so I’ve paired my statement earrings with a printed leopard sweater and a pink midi skirt. My crystal statement studs sparkle against the soft muted palette.”
