Shoulder Duster earrings?????

These earrings are definately not for me. Maybe Shawn can get away with wearing them. Carolyn has them on today on Denim & Co.,,,,,that is a big NO. Just too large, I know it is a trend but not all trends are for everyone.

Personally, I don't think anyone can get away with them unless you are Beyonce giving a concert. Otherwise, it looks like earrings wearing a face rather than a face wearing earrings.

I would never wear them and find them totally distracting when on others---that's all I end up looking at. Annoying at best!!

And wait until years from now when your ear lobes are all stretched downward. Our ears keep growing anyway, who wants them that long? The tassel ones look like they came off the graduation board or the drapes.

Well definitely not for me with my shorter neck! I thought the turquoise color was pretty on Carolyn though with the lighter blue Halston TSV top.

I seldom wear earrings, but I do have a pair of "rhinestone" chandelier style that are 5 inches long. I've worn them a couple times to fancy dress events. They are not heavy at all, and no problem as long as I only do slow dances with DH.

@Desertdi I have several pairs that I love. Very inexpensive & fun earrings I got from places like Target, Burlington, and Zulily. I don't wear them to the office, but I rock them on weekends to the movies or out with friends. I have one pair that is one long gold chain down to my shoulder. All of mine are very lightweight.

I'm not alone since they are everywhere here -- and I do not look like Shawn in the least

I wear them and like them a lot and I think they look good others too.

These earrings are definitely available everywhere these days. I ran into Dollar General yesterday and saw a turquoise set.

I liked them on Shawn but I bet she doesn't wear them around Jagger. Babies and Cats would love to yank or bat at them I think!

I was in the Dollar Store last week for gift bags for Father's Day (Hallmark closed) and low and behold there were dozens of earrings on display identical to the pair Carolyn had on this morning.

There was a teen trying them on. Cute on her. I would be embarassed to show up wearing them anywhere.

Wear long, heavy earrings for a long enough period of time, and your EARLOBES will become shoulder dusters!

I like a longer earring as long as they're made well and delicately designed.
The tassel earrings are a big no for me. One tug and I'm expecting the butler to show up with, "You rang?"

Blanketed statement not necessarily true for all people. I wore them for YEARS and years back in the day and my lobes are not stretched out one iota.

Just because they are long does not mean they are heavy. I have some stud earrings that pull my lobes down more than any chandelier earrings ever did.

I see them sold AND worn everywhere. QVC is going to sell what is one trend and these are, for now anyways.

Fashion is all about having fun with what you like to wear.

LOL!!! The really big ones - tassels, balls, etc - look like part of a costume to me. I would not wear, but others do...
