2. Sleeper earrings

I have been called “epically lazy” by my husband, and in many ways he’s right. For instance, I prefer to sleep in my earrings so that I don’t have to put them back on in the morning. For a long time, I sort of suffered the pinches of my little diamond studs in my ears, rather than remove and replace them each day. Enter these “Sleeper Earrings” from Erica Weiner. Featuring a rather genius design that’s at once simple and complicated, they dangle delicately from your ear by day, and nestle without poking you at night. The result is a casual polish that you wake up with. One less thing to remember in the morning!
