My mother's earrings

Since I have memory my mother has always used earrings. In the city, in the beach, at work and even at home. I don’t mean the same earrings every day, but different ones. Let me explain. My mother has always been a really simple lady, she has always work, studied and taken care of the family; that´s why she doesn’t have much time for herself. She doesn’t wear necklaces and jut occasionally she wears bracelets, of course that is in regular basis. She never buys too expensive accessories like purses or so, but she always wears earrings. She likes earrings of all different colors and shapes. Sometimes she may lose them, sometimes one and sometimes both but when that happens she likes to simply mix them. She likes mixing her earrings because most of the people doesn’t pay much attention to it, so she really appreciates it when someone notices it and ask her why she does this, she likes it especially if its family or friends who asks her. I think that is because she loves to know we pay enough attention to the small details referring to her and I feel this may also be traduced as how much we love and respect her. I find this a really unique characteristic of my mother because she isn´t a vain person, but she is always good looking and I think this small detail really describes how mother is. In few words she is a simple, good looking person who loves little details from the ones she love. She has always been a really strong woman and I really admire her. That’s why every time I see earrings I think of my mother, I always like to choose her feminine earrings, earrings that represent her, beautiful, natural and strong. I believe flowers and rocks of different colors make her stand out and that can be wear with any kid of clothes and in any situation. That’s why most of the gives we get her are earrings; we like to buy them different but a little similar so that she can mix them latter without many problems. Sometimes we even buy her funny earrings like food shaped earrings. She also have different earrings for different seasons, the seasons she likes the most and of which she has more sets of earrings are Halloween and Christmas. I like that my mother do this kind of things because it makes me realize how important small things are even if we take some time to realize this. This is how much my mother earrings represent to me.
