$8.50 Swallowing my hipster-phobia, I tried out Beacon’s Closet where I was met with stuffy air and swarms of pouting girls in dowdy dresses and Ray-Bans. Though they aren’t secondhand like most of the items in stock, these teardrop earrings would match nearly any outfit while simultaneously accenting a summer tan. And for being so large, they felt pretty lightweight. For just $8.50, they were a cheap way to sample the trend. But I don’t have my ears pierced. So they went right back on the shelf. 220 Fifth Ave., nr. President St., Park Slope, Brooklyn; 718-230-1630. |
