So, today it’s been six weeks since I had my ears pierced (and um, since I last posted). I’m very sorry and promise to post more frequently in future. Blame the hayfever.
I was advised to leave my ears to heal for six weeks, before changing the jewellery. So today was bound to be a big day! Curiously I find myself in possession of about a dozen pairs of earrings already, from the sensible and elegant studs T bought me, through the nice silver teardrops I bought a couple of weeks ago, to the startlingly large and jangly earrings I bought today from the £1 jewellery shop (a fine innovation; the first I’ve seen).
These earrings really are special, from the plastic “jewels” to the silvery-coated plastic frame, they’re cheap and enormous. But not quite enormous enough to violate Lauren’s Chav Earring Rule (that’s the rule that says if your earrings are resting on your shoulders, they’re Too Damn Big).
Anyway, I’ve worn four or five pairs so far today. I guess I should leave some for later, but I can hear them calling to me already…
