Remember those classy studs you found in your mother’s jewelry box that make you look just like January Jones from Mad Men? But, doh, they’re clip-on. Not to worry, dears. First of all, clip-ons won’t tear your ear holes, confining you to studs for the latter 30 years of your earring-wearing days. Secondly, they are multi-functional.
I’m not claiming this idea to be my own (I’m sure I saw it amongst Real Simple’s New Uses for Old Things)- Nonetheless, it’s as genius as if had come from my own noggin.
