How To Gussy Up Your Top-Knot With $10 Earrings
The time has finally come to pack up our hats and scarves and throw our hair into a loose, mile-high bun. It’s top-knot season, which means it’s also time to accessorize accordingly. If you’re going to wear your hair in a high and mightily messy, you need to look like it’s not an accident. Enter earrings — the finishing touch that pulls together a pile of hair, and finally gets a chance to shine. Here are a few of my favorite face-framing earrings (all under $10!) to wear with every kind of top-knot.
Backcomb that pony and anchor her down, that’s the scoop with this fun bun.
Geometric shapes and patterns add angels to an otherwise round shape.
WEAR THIS STYLE WITH:
Delaunay Drop Earrings, $3.99; Bold Cutout Drop Earrings, $4.80; Gray Striped Clay Earrings, $10
Smooth down flyaways and stick with a simple twist for this knot!
An intricate patterned earring can fancy things up without looking costume-y.

Victoria Townsend Sterling Silver Earrings (perfect combo for weddings!), $5.99; Bronzino Clip-On Earrings, $9.99;

Effortlessness is key when wearing a messy bun;
go small detailed or lacy to mimic the loops and wisps of the bun itself.

Statement pieces with pops of color will be your best friends with this top-knot.
