Can I show you my new earrings?

Here they are:

I found them at some random hip little store in the Haight. I did my level best to talk myself out of them. They're cheesy and plastic and cheapish looking. And kind of odd. And orange. And HUGE.
But I couldn't resist. I paid the five bucks and took them home and put them in my jewelry box. And they stayed there for about a month. Then, a few days ago, I finally wore them. And even though they tend to get caught in my hair and my sweater and feel kind of bulky and weird when they bump against my neck, I'm loving them. I can't explain it. There's just... something about them that's awesome.
