Yes, they are cute and yes they come in every colour and size known to woman, but... can I wear them without looking like a cat attacked and killed two small birds that were for whatever reason, hanging from my ears?
Okay, don't answer that.
What I mean to say is that I have two set of feather earrings, one black pair with glitzy bits, and a deep red pair. They're both gorgeous, but I don't wear either of them. Ever. But they do look very pretty hanging from my jewellery mannequin.
Today, I almost bought a third pair. They were brown toned and very pretty. I hummed and hawed for a while, then common sense took over and I put them down and walked away.
I want to go back tomorrow and buy them. Luckily I'm at work and can't.
Did I say luckily?
So, I ask myself, why don't I wear feather earrings?
And the answer comes back... I don't know.
I can't come up with a good reason. I know that they're not really an everyday thing, but even on nights out I tend to opt for the more glitzy look. Plus, if I'm on a night out I wear my hair down and I think that feather earrings would just get lost in it. Sort of like nesting birds.
Maybe I just need a little bravery to wear them? Need a little courage to hold my head up and say, why yes, yes I am wearing brightly colured feather earrings, and they look good.
I think I need to bite the bullet and jump, and trust than my parachute will open.
Next time I go on a night out, I'll wear my hair up and instead of reaching for those sparkly silver hoops, I'll reach for a pair of my feather earrings. Because I have nothing to fear but fear itself. And spiders.
Well, I guess that means I'm going to the shops after work tomorrow.
That is... unless I chicken out.
