Being addicted to layering of all kinds (layering bags, wearing skirts over pants…), I recently discovered a totally new way to do so. Wearing multiple dainty earrings is not only a creative new way of layering your favorite earrings, but also a great way to give those tiny pieces of jewelry a bigger impact on your everyday styling. I’ve always been a great fan of piercings and I currently have seven (three on each ear and a nose piercing – took out the lip one few months ago, hence the little hole on the left side of my upper lip). I found it’s the easiest way of accessorizing if you take your jewelry the non-fuss way. Necklaces, bracelets and rings may annoy you during the day while running errands or completing tasks, while earrings are the safest bet. Not imposing, yet still impactful.

Currently I’m enjoying the mixed metals look, combining both silver and gold earrings. On my right ear I usually sport two golden hoops with a pin earring I made. The left ear is adorned with two faux pearl stud earrings, one silver, very peculiarly shaped one and a cuff earring.

How do you like your earrings? Are you into wearing multiple dainty ones or just one pair of big statement earrings?

PS. Not sure if you notice in the photos, but I’m still loving the fake freckled look and I was wearing it the day I took these pics. Learn how you can easily achieve the look in my fake freckles tutorial!
