Opening The Box
INK+ALLOY subscribers can look forward to receiving earrings arriving in a small white box, typically with their name written on the front. Every few months subscribers get a bonus item—a bracelet, keychain, or even another pair of earrings. This month it's a fun one—another colorway of the same earring design.
The two pairs arrived safely in this recyclable paper bag.
Here's What's Inside
June Mini Checked Pattern Petite Beaded Fringe Earrings in Black/White — Retail Value $25
I'm a proud maximalist, and beaded fringe earrings of all shapes, sizes, and color combos are right at home amid the colorful chaos of my outfits. But on days when I'm in the mood for something simpler, or there's a ton going on elsewhere in my outfit (crazy pants and colorful shoes for the win), intensely colorful geometric patterns around my face can feel like a lot. Which is why these pared down checkered earrings are perfectly filling a hole in my collection. I also love that INK+ALLOY always sends their earrings with rubbery backs to keep them from slipping out.
This week the weather is in the negative degrees, so it's cozy clothes all day every day over here. But, I still like to get changed and put myself together in the morning so I can feel more present to my day. These earrings are so lightweight and unimposing that they fit the bill beautifully. I can tell I'm going to reach for them a lot for this reason.
June Mini Checked Pattern Petite Beaded Fringe Earrings in Multi-Check — Retail Value $25
I'm so tickled by being sent two versions of the same silhouette. They really don't feel the same. These ones have black and white in the mix, but with the addition of rosy pink, teal tones, olive, lime, muted purple, earthy brown, and coral. They're in the spirit of a sunny day without looking like a traditional rainbow.
Such a bright addition to a frosty day!
The Verdict
January's INK+ALLOY delivery was a duo of checkered earrings—a black and white pair and a bonus colorful pair. I've been wearing them every day since they arrived, alternating pairs. But I know the time will come when the spirit moves me to wear one of each at the same time. Such great mix and match opportunities!
