Let's take a more-is-more approach with jewelry. What makes statement earrings such irresistible fun is that they're supposed to be brightly colored like candy, obscurely shaped like toys, and as big as you please. If you're proudly extra, you'll already know that statement earrings complement any look, but if you have a more lowkey vibe, they're an easy way to take a fashion risk.

Seaworthy's earring design was informed by Matisse's work, which explains their artful vibe. And as if they couldn't be cooler, the layered pieces are attached with headpins, giving the earrings a mobile element.

Take any of these pieces from Lulu Frost — these babies will be the centerpiece of your look and a conversation-starter at the same damn time.
