Bye-bye, Cliché!
Posted on 12.15.07 to $50 and under by LindsaySo, let me start off this post with simply saying…I love you, Mom. I really do. Without you, I may not have the love for fashion I do today. You’ve always had a ton of poise and class in your ensembles (save for the tie-dye dress, but we’ve talked about that…) and I will forever be in debt to you for that.
Is it Mother’s Day? No… It’s not Mother’s Day, we’re nearing Christmas. So why the Mom-tribute? Well, it was less of a tribute, more of an apology in advance. Here’s why.
Every year around Christmas, my mom dolls up the house with beautiful candles, centerpieces, and intricately wrapped gifts. However, upon her lovely earlobes sit the most (I love you!) awful, (I really do!) gaudy, (a LOT!) horrifyingly cliché earrings with bright red and green presents, wreaths and Santa figures.
Is it as bad as a Christmas sweater depicting Santa’s hot cocoa session with Rudolph? No… But it’s not great. So I’ve found some options for the ladies that would like to be festive without… well… being too festive.
I found these cuties at shopbop.com. They’ve got the holiday spirit without having.. an actual.. holiday item displayed, you know? You can find these Giles & Brother Small Nail Head Hoops at shopbop.com
for only $31.50.
These next ones, I found at Bluefly. They’re PERFECT! They’re from Lenora Dame and they’re made from Czech pearls and the details are GORGEOUS. You can Shop Bluefly
and get them for a measly $21.00.
I couldn’t really find any green ones that weren’t just… ordinary. I just hate things that are ordinary. 
xoxo!
