This pick is dedicated to my girl, Lee Lee, who quit her semi-corporate job (she used to sit in the cube next to me), to pursue her dreams—which come in the form of a nursing degree with a specialty in infectious diseases. The weekend before she left work, we stopped into a boutique together and she immediately fell in love with these earrings—she cooed and fawned over them, but in newfound restraint, vowed to wait until her first new paycheck (as a waitress) before even this minor splurge. Hey, if she is going to go do humanitarian work in Africa, she needs to learn how to go without, or at least defer. They are quintessential Lee Lee: subtle indigenous influence applied to a free-spirited design—and they would be perfect for her international adventures (off hospital hours, of course). So Lee Lee, to send you off to do your thing with a little luck charm (though you don’t need it), here’s a code (MCI20) to get 20% off these Bijoux Luck Red Paisley Earrings, or anything else you’d like to purchase at Max and Chloe (that goes for all you readers out there, too).
