pearl studs

i've always loved pearls. i always wanted my own string of pearls because for me, it embodies elegance. but of course, i don't have a pearl necklace yet. maybe soon!

if i can't have a necklace, i choose the cheaper alternative-pearl stud earrings. when i say cheap, i mean cheap. a couple of years ago, i was offered south sea pearl stud earrings. i can't quite remember the size, but it was huge. and looked really great on me. the problem was, the price tag was huge too. a whopping Php25,000! it was being sold on installment but i didn't get it. i thought it too much for a pair of earrings. last week, i went to the local department store looking for a shawl. i looked around the store and saw a pair of pearl earrings at Php 36.50. yes, i bought it! (and the shawl too) i have been wearing it ever since. i'm lucky my ears didn't itch. it helps that you put alcohol on the posts, i guess. i love how it livens up my face and makes my outfits instantly classy. i wore a little black dress, thong slippers and my pearl earrings to our family party and it made me look dressed up. but i looked as nice in jeans and a striped shirt as well.

i don't go around telling people my earrings aren't real. besides, it doesn't really matter. i look confident wearing it and that's all that counts.
