While I love mixing and matching stud earrings on a day-to-day basis (as seen in this post), I think there is something so game changing about a great pair of statement earrings. The most simple ensemble, like this one, becomes elevated in an instant with just this one accessory. I got these from L’Oeil—my latest go-to site for trends on the cheap—and paired them with simple white pants and this great suede tunic. Scroll down for more of my look, the runway inspirations behind the trend, and my round up of the best statement earrings on the web.
