My parents and I were out for dinner at a local restaurant in the Cape Cod town where we had a summer cottage. I was probably twelve, maybe eleven - on the cusp of wanting to make fashion statements with every move and swish of my bell-bottom pants. I spotted a party of four at a nearby table. Among them was a woman, probably in her mid-thirties, who was beautiful, laughing, had long wavy flowing hair, just like I didn't, was wearing white bell-bottom pants, a blue and white French sailor-neck top and big hoop earrings. She was obviously having more fun than me too. I wanted to be her. I wanted her sense of style. I wanted her look, her fun, her beauty. Heck, I was even going to order the spaghetti and meatballs because that's what she ordered.
But truth be told, I'm too timid to wear big earrings like these.
Are they are too large for a woman my age? My stature would probably carry them with ease, but two-inch hoops do not suit my personality. But I love them nevertheless and feel jealous when I see a woman who can carry off the look, like Beyonce, Angelina Joli, Jennifer Lopez, and pretty much any young stylish woman with the Chutzpah to order spaghetti and meatballs while wearing white.
