I’ve always LOVED big, statement earrings.
Last week I bought a pair of tassel earrings from Sportsgirl and accidentally stumbled upon my new favourite accessories trend.
All of a sudden I was very fashun and I had to recommend tassel earrings to everyone I saw: “Guys – they’re great. They’re just like the tassels on your mum’s old curtains, but they’re for your ears.”
My new tassel earrings had everything I wanted – they’re big, but light, they’re this really nice burgundy colour, and they made my simple outfits pop.
Soon, I was seeing tassel earrings everywhere and I realised my little earrings were part of something much bigger: FASHUN. CULTURE. STYLE.
And just like in that scene from The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly explains to Andy Sachs how her cheap blue sweater originated, I realised my little Sportsgirl earrings got their start on the runways of Chanel and Gucci.
Now they're on my ears for the tidy little sum of $16.95.
Statement earrings are great for days when you want to look like you've put a lot of effort in, but are too lazy to do so.
A pair of jeans and a plain t-shirt look amazing when you pop on a big ole' pair of earrings.
To help you get on board the tassel bus (toot toot), I've rounded up some of the best from Australian retailers.

Just don't get this trend myself but hey fashion is so subjective
I had (still have) a pair of tassel earrings 25 years ago!
