Earrings

[Vagus]

I stopped wearing them at the start of the pandemic when we wore masks..between wearing specs, dangly earrings and a mask, I used to get very tangled up.

I've only recently started wearing them again having got used to being earring free, and had forgotten how nice they make me feel.

Did anyone else find mask wearing changed their clothing/jewellery/specs wearing habits?

[Tilly2]

Hearing aids, glasses and a mask. Very uncomfortable.

I wear a thing to stop the glasses falling on the ground when I remove them to see with hairband and mask .Ears get sore now and again .

You are fortunate that your holes didn't close up.  My wife had to have her ears pierced again when she stopped wearing earrings for a while.

Love my earrings but like your wife Barry I need to get my ears re pierced.  Never seem to get around to it though :-)

Whenever I wore a covid mask I went blind. The glasses steamed up.

I haven't wore any fir a few years now. I thought my holes had closed up. Asked ear piercer if she could re do them. She said not thru the same holes. She'd have to make new ones. I didn't want that. Anyway, I kept persevering, managed to get one in but not the other. A few days ago, I started bathing my ears with very hot water and tap a few times. Bought some gold studs and it worked! It does make you feel good. I'd missed them.

^^^^

Hot water and TCP! 😄

...I've just been to put my pearl studs in. Thanks for the reminder.

I've got to test and see if I can get mine in...I think it's been almost a year. I struggled a bit last time. I've got so many nice pairs...as I discovered a week or 2 ago when I was sorting through some other jewellery. Must organise it all. Otherwise it's out of sight, out of mind.

Pasta, if you have it, wear it !

[Old_Geezer]

Didn't even change my lack of mask wearing habit.

 

How does dangling a weight from your ear make you feel nice ?

 

(To be honest, I find piercings and tattoos a rather strange thing to do to one's body.)

Tilly, OH found the same and stopped wearing his hearing aid, he's never gone back to it, I think both he and me have got used to his hearing (or lack of it). 
Barry, I had to fiddle a bit to get them in again, but not much. I wore earrings constantly for about 35 years so I doubt they'd have closed up.

Pasta, I was doing the same and it's what prompted me to put them back in. I have a few studs but mainly wear quite long dangly ones. I'm really surprised how wearing them again has made me feel 😊

[Tilly2]

Earrings definitely complete the look, whatever the look may be.

[Tilly2]

...and a bit of lippy.

[pastafreak]

So true Tilly.

I think being retired and home more means forgetting the details. 

But, I never go out without lippy!

[Patsy33]

I usually go for loopy ones...😀

[Tilly2]

What? Loopy lippy?

[Patsy33]

Loopy earrings! 

I have to use a bit of lip liner before applying lipstick..

[Countrylover]

Lippy and mascara are essential if going out.  I wores some big plastic coloured earrings in the days of Mary Quant but never worn earrings since.  Never had pierced ears.
