Look! Hollywood person Katherine Heigl decided to add 40 years to her look by wearing big button earrings!
My mom looks great in button earrings. That’s because she is an elegant 70+ year old lady who wears classic styles and who lived in the 1950’s, so they’re feminine, vintage-ish and appropriate on her. MotherBang always wears a bright lip with them and hair with great volume, and button earrings are one of her signatures.
Not just any gal can pull off the buttons without a one-way tricket to Frumpsville. Style with care if you do rock the buttons, pigeons.
I think they’re cute as a “button,” personally! A good reminder to keep the rest of your look current though. It looks like Ms. Heigl may have paired them with a vintagey silk scarf…that might be too much. [I’d love to post some photos of gals looking cute in button earrings — would you send one? PERLEEEZE?- PB]
OMG, you have made me completely paranoid! I wear button earrings frequently, as I have a narrow face and find them most flattering. (My favorites: pearl studs, smoky quartz pave, green crystal pave, leopard print.) [BUT HONEY, I’m talking about the kind of buttons that Heigl is wearing!! You know, ACTUAL BIG PLAIN 1950’s BUTTONS. – PB]
Oh, you could not look frumpy in leopard print earrings, Miss Conduct! [She couldn’t look frumpy in a leopard print leisure suit, actually. She just mostly couldn’t look frumpy, period! – PB]
Oh, I would SO love to see pictures of MotherBang! [Not gonna happen, sorry! She’s a private lady. But thanks for asking. – PB]
I’m blushing, ladies! Thank you for the compliments.
I think Ms. Heigl’s entire look is wrong. The fakey coral look-at-me-I’m-lipstick lipstick, the fussily tied ascot scarf, the 1970s shades. No one element is that disastrous on its own, but all together, they have an outdating effect.
