Opening The Box
INK+ALLOY subscribers can look forward to receiving earrings arriving in a small white box. Inside, the earrings of the month are packaged in a simple, low-waste way.
Our delivery doesn't always come with informational materials, but this month we were sent a tiny, square card offering a little intro to INK+ALLOY, as well as a festive card with a Fall List on one side and a corn bread recipe on the other side. Cute!
Here's What's Inside
Frida Layered Angles Beaded Earrings Rust + Lapis — Retail Value $42
Every pair of earrings that arrives through my INK+ALLOY subscription is always scrutinized through the lens of the season we're in. It's hard to help! I think if this pair were to have arrived in the heat of summer, they would have felt very desert-y, but here in autumn, the richer colors are standing out to me—the rust, the chocolate brown, and the eye-catching pop of cobalt blue. I wear a ton of olive green, and these hues fit into that earthy palette perfectly without being too matchy.
The beads really sparkle, and the creamy sections throughout make the pair pop against dark hair. This pair worked well with the T-shirt I happened to be wearing the day my box arrived, and I'm already scheming up ways to build them into a more detailed outfit.
We were sent Fridas in June (see here), but the pattern and colors are so different that they almost seem like a completely new design. These ones are much more my vibe.
The Verdict
While this pair from INK+ALLOY is a similar design to ones we were sent this summer, their pattern is different enough that they serve a different purpose in my collection of earrings. I love the shades of neutrals and zap of color in this pair, and will look forward to styling them to warm up fall and winter looks.
