What Would You Pay? Button Earrings

By -
Be sure to check out last week's cable stitch tights. Most of you said you'd pay $10 to $30 for them. Check out how much they really cost.

This week, we want to know what you would pay for these button earrings. They remind me of Coraline, but with these you don't have to have your eyes taken out and replaced with button eyes. Plus, who doesn't love a few more buttons in their look.

These are stainless steal with a rose gold-look finish (no real gold). The button holes are made of Swarovski crystals. Next Tuesday I will announce on Twitter and Facebook (as well as in this post) where these are from and how much they cost. If you know where this is from, DON'T tell everyone and spoil the fun. The actual cost will skew everyone's answers. Until then, what would you pay for these cute button earrings?

Update: These earrings are by Kamsmak and available at YesStyle for $25.

Those are sooo cute!

I would pay up to $20 for them. They make me want to get my ears pierced.

Yes I know, how is it I don't have my ears pierced? cuz I'm a lazy scaredy cat

I probably wouldn't buy these unless they were super cheap at goodwill or a yard sale. I'm thinking $2 or less. Even $2 is stretching it for me. If they didn't have the crystals in them, I'd pay $10, in case you were wondering. I'm not much of a bling kind of girl.

These are pretty cute, but it not being real gold, and having crystals. I think the most I would pay would be around the $20 range. I just don't know if I would personally want them in my collection.

I would probably only pay about 5 dollars. They don't do much for me. Fanya, I had my ears pierced twice, and both times they closed up from getting infected, so I also don't have them anymore.

I like that they're a pinking metallic, and that they wouldn't catch my hair like other studs. Most studs I wouldn't pay more than $10 for, but these would be a cute everyday pair. For that I'd pay $20.

o.m.g

The thought JUST occur to me, I don't know why I didn't thought of it earlier. They are the straight/pin kind, which means you can also use them as pins and broaches!

Slippery silk scarfs? pin one of the buttons through both ends to make it stay! Other good places: pin cardigans close, decoration for solid color dresses, plain bags and scarfs.

Use it to pin a pretty ribbon as border for lampshade or other border-able objects.

ditch the back and just keep it as a classy/elegant pin for your board.

and I'm not rereading the post because I want them =X

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
