12 Statement Earrings I Need After Binge-Watching Bama Rushtok
I was never one for statement earrings until I started binging Bama Rushtok. Last week, my FYP was absolutely littered with sorority pledges wearing floral dresses, tiered skirts from The Pants Store (Seriously, isn’t it weird that they sell more than just pants??) and trying to outdo one another on the brightest, boldest pairs of earrings. After months and months of chunky gold hoops reigning supreme, I’m ready for something more fun—even if Bid Day has long since passed me by.
In fashion, nothing beats a kitschy statement piece. Growing up, I loved to add a blingy faux earring or two to my look. Now that I’m older (and that my ears are actually pierced), my earring collection has kept the same energy. The only difference? I had to swap my plastic Barbie earrings out for ones made from gold and lucite. I may be an adult, but I’m still obsessed with all things sparkly when it comes to my accessories. What can I say? I’m a maximalist at heart!
Lucky for me, this summer’s earrings offerings were really second-to-none in the drama department. From ear climbers that make me look like I have way more piercings than I actually do to oversized hoop earrings, my favorite brands have certifiably spoiled me this year—and none more than The Sak. I have been eyeing a few pieces from their super-affordable range lately, so I obviously had to include them here along with picks from Roxanne Assoulin, Kendra Scott (a Rushtok fave) and more.
Suffice it to say my statement earring infatuation is here to stay for a few months more. Maybe I’ll reconsider kicking it in autumn? In any case, read on to shop a few of the most daring earrings on the market.
