This is grossly unfair! How did we end up with such a bad deal, being earrings for this silly woman of all women? We’re sure we can’t find a worse owner than her, to wear both of us together despite the fact that we’re not a pair. And it was not once. It was TWICE!
First time she claimed that it was too early and she didn’t have enough sleep so the mistake. Okay, we let that passed cos we were kind of concealed behind her hair then and we think not many people saw us and realised her fashion faux pas. But who in the right frame of mind would make such a mistake again a SECOND time? The worst is that this time, her hair is so short, there was no way of concealing us.
And believe it or not, she didn’t realised until midday when she tried to tug one side of her hair behind one of her ears. We saw her stupid embarrassed expression on the mirror but instead of removing us, she thought it better to pretend that it was a new fashion statement and continued to have us on her ears till the end of the day.
We didn’t know what else to do? What could we have done? We were at her mercy! So we just played along as well. Good thing nobody said anything about us to her even though we’re dead sure they saw us. If they had asked her, we’re certain she’s going to say this is a new fashion trend then try to muffle her silly laugh. Tsk tsk tsk.
She should really get her head examined. To make such a laughable mistake, both times, in her professional capacity. If she had gone to the markets in us, then people could have just dismissed her as a crazy woman. That’s one big dent in her professional image now, and there’s no escaping from it.
By the way, if you dare mention this to her, she’ll definitely laugh it off. But we tell ya, there would be tears behind that laughter. If you care to look closely enough that is.
Ha ha ! A very cute piece of earring autobiography

You mean it’s not acceptable? I used to deliberately mismatch my earrings.
DR: Speaking from a earring’s point of view, it’s acceptable if you deliberately mismatch and then look altogether stylo-mylo. But a faux pas if it was a silly mistake, and the two of us were completely out of sync, not only between ourselves but also with the clothes and image she was projecting. Very sala you know!

Haha, so you’re the owner of those two above? Like DR, I also deliberately mismatch earrings. Maybe because I have 4 ear-holes, so have more excuses to do so.
In fact, my eldest daughter (at 3+) and I used to wear 2 pairs of mismatch earrings but put us together, we have two similar pairs. I know, it was quite crazy.
ee: If the mismatch is deliberate and the combination looks great, then it shouldn’t look too bizzare. I’ve tried that when I was younger but it wasn’t something I was very keen about. I preferred just wearing one of them on one side.

Wah, you quite blur, you know? But I too used to mix my earrings, way back when I used to wear them. Just that little touch of funky, you know.
Hsin: We assure you she was more than just blur and she looked far from being funky, especially in a corporate suit, no matter how hard she tried. We also won’t go into detail the image she was supposed to present and yet…hiaz…totally unbecoming is what we would describe her then ya.

Dear Earings, be grateful that you are worn and not locked up in some jewelry box. Leave the poor soul alone. Stop bitching!
ZM: Boo hoo hoo…we feel so wronged and we can’t even air our grievances!!! Boo hoo hoo…But you must also realised that if we don’t bitch, she’ll never learn!

What a wonderful story. Thank you earrings for telling us the real story. Clearly this woman is too much of a mixed up person to tell the story herself.
I’ve done this, but my goof was with small round ball studs. I wore one yellow gold earring and one white gold earring. Stylish it was not.
ally: Hahaha…spot on! She’s too mixed up to tell her own story!
