Make a Statement With Hoops

I remember reading in some celeb magazine several years ago, a quote from an A-lister on her basic, failsafe outfit. She said if you're wearing your favorite pair of jeans, a simple white tank top, and sandals, all you need is a good pair of hoop earrings to pull the whole look together. It may seem odd that something so small could play such an important role in an outfit, but it works! I've taken that advice to heart and often when I'm feeling "blah" or just can't seem to figure out what to wear, I go back to the fail-safe hoop earrings. Of course, there is a bit of an art to picking them out. Too big and gaudy and you'll look like you're wearing costume jewelry. Too understated and you might as well have just skipped putting them on altogether. Here are some of my faves:

Basic thin, silver hoop

Triple hoop for a little more "flair."

Dangling hoop earrings for a bit of a different look.
