Rediscovered: Fulani earrings
I own a pair of antique earrings—small, dainty, understated—that I pretty much never take out. This could be interpreted as loyal (my parents did buy them for me), or just lazy. The funny thing is, though, that it's never inhibited me from stocking up on oversize earrings—I buy them compulsively at markets across the globe, whether it's silver filigree chandeliers in Mexico City or brass Fulani hoops in Kenya(strange, right, since Fulani earrings are actually from Mali) even though I never seem to wear them. I just found the latter when I was organizing my jewelry this weekend and I put them on immediately. They're big, but fun—and the bright yellow shade makes them kind of glamorous, too. If you have no plans to travel to Africa in your future, you can snap them up here. Meanwhile, going forward, I'm forcing myself to swap out my earrings at least twice a week.
