When I was a kid, the one thing that topped my birthday wish list was getting my ears pierced. Until the year that I was allowed to poke them holes, I spent a remarkable amount of effort finding clip-ons and magnetic studs that looked close enough to the real deal. Sound familiar, eh? “I’ll buy a whole bunch of earrings and wear a different pair everyday!” I told my wide-eyed pre-teen self. Obviously that didn’t work out, because I got lazy. Like, really lazy. I’ve basically been wearing the same pair of Tiffany & Co studs for three years now. Only when the blue moon appears do I swap them for dingly-dangly ones.

Why did we stop wearing huge-ass earrings? The sort that could possibly be a safety hazard but it doesn’t matter anyway because they’re so shiny and ostentatious and hence, awesome? If the Spring/Summer 2017 runways are any indication, shoulder-scrapping earrings are going to be huge come the new season – both literally and figuratively. While earrings were kept simple at Celine and Balenciaga, we can always count on Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana for earrings that are bling enough to stop traffic. Calling them oversized would be an understatement. At Rodarte, earrings took on a more delicate form, though no less of a statement. Just imagine if a necklace and an ear cuff had a baby. Viola – Rodarte bling!
