Somehow all it takes to transform an average summer evening into a mini vacation is just the right outfit, or in Girlawhirl's case, a single pair of earrings. And this summer, the earrings that evoke the perfect spent-the-day-in-the sun feeling are silver discs that look a little bit like doilies...
Hand made by Laura Kitsos in Chicago and sold in the Gem Boutiques she owns in and around the Chicago area, Girlawhirl was lucky enough to snatch up a pair of these silver filigree earrings on a recent shopping spree. Girlawhirl loves all the “could be's” associated with them: they could be from Mexico, or India, or even Thailand! They could be perfect with a tiered skirt and T-shirt, or work just as well with a sleek shot of bright color, like a cobalt blue top with skinny black pants. They could be all she needs to turn ho-hum into wow, and they also pair nicely with bracelets, either an armful of silver bangles or a couple of chunky Lucite cuffs.
Girlawhirl loves her shiny silver pair, which she thinks bridges the gap between traditional – the filigree design – and modern because they're bright and shiny, but there's also an oxidized version for a more antique look.
