Why are we obsessed with earrings so much? Well get ready because here is where my fashion geek comes out! As I was saying, I did some research and found out some surprising fun facts as to why this eye candy not only enhances your everyday style, but your confidence as well. I know what you are probably thinking. "That's just silly nonsense!" or "You're just making that up in order to prove your point!" Well whatever you think about earrings and what they do or don't do, these are some pretty potent points (say that five times fast!) that I have discovered about the eye candy themselves.

In Conclusion Miss Eye Candy
