Hoop earrings
 

I thought it was appropiate to "recycle" trends every 20 years, not every five or ten years.

There are girls with hoop earrings popping up everywhere! Ewwww! I remember seeing 7 hoop earrings in my class this morning. Four pairs silver hoops big enough to stick your fist through. Three pairs of ghetto fab earrings. One pair of hoop earrings shaped like a heart. I looooooved the 90s too, but people need to GET OVER IT!

Thankfully I've never been into hoop earrings. When I was in high school, the rule said hoop earrings were to be no bigger than a quarter, so I just got used wearing small ones.

I have to admit, some look nice, but those big ones where you can stick fists through them...I'm sorry, TRASHY!

I usually stick to diamond studs or pearls. However, every now and again, I break out my hoops. Usually, when I'm going hippie chic.

I just accidentally stepped on my white gold hoops and squashed them a little. I need to get them fixed. They are about the size of a quarter.

OMG. I wore the most gigantic hoop earrings back in the day. The bigger, the better.

Oh no! Not the door knocker earrings! :eek: I wore studs or small hoops. (I have 4 holes in each ear) I used to do a lot of baby sitting and didn't want a rugrat pulling them out of my ear

I like hoop earrings. :o
I don't wear the really big, tacky hoops. The ones I wear are no bigger than a quarter.

Haven't people been wearing them the past 3 years or so? I think they made a comeback because of SATC or something. A lot of people around here wear them for going out and such.

I thought so, too. They've been really popular here for a while.

Well thats because we're in Florida and dionysus is in some dirty south, country bumpkin state. :p

There's nothing wrong with the smaller hoop earrings. It goes quite well with my curly hair.

Now those gigantic hoops.....that's a different story.

Hoop earrings are one of my favorite looks this fall! I wear 2" gold ones with my hair all wild and curly, 70s inspired button-down shirts, and tight jeans. It's hot. :)

uh oh
 

that's all i wear......and it took me a while, but i finally found ones in the shape of stars. <shhh.....don't tell!> :o

dammit.

The former headmistress at my school used to call big hoop earrings, "shower curtain earrings". "Shower curtain earrings" were banned (and still are banned) when the girls are in uniform.

My sophmore year roomate had to have surgery to repair her earlobe because the weight of the earrings she wore ripped it. The 90's fun times.

My mother (a doctor) once told me the lovely story of the teenaged babysitter who came to the ER because she was wearing dangling earrings when she went to babysit... baby saw something shiny dangling in front of his/her eyes, reached up and yanked... ow. :( Stud earrings are safest around little people.

or drunks....
love the hoops but beware of dates with roaming fingers.

I've only noticed them within the last few months.

Folks, when I say hoop earrings, I mean BIG hoop earrings. I'm wearing a hoop in my cartilage right now, but it is only dime-sized.

I teach middle school, and as I sit in the library right now...there is a 12 year old girl with BIGGGGGG hoops, 2 the same size in each ear. These things must be the size of dinner plates. Its enough to make me want to keep wearing my standard pearls. All of my kids want to know why I always wear big white dots in my ears. I have a second hole, but I haven't worn anything in it in years.
