Above: "Girlicious" hopeful Natalie sporting some supersized hoops on the red carpet

While I try not to make a habit out of taking style cues from The Pussycat Dolls, I couldn’t help but notice the abundance of girl-band-wannabes sporting giant hoop earrings as I tuned in to tonight’s episode of “Girlicious” (tell me I’m not the only one who considers it their Tuesday night guilty pleasure!) Although some were on the gaudy side, I have to admit that with the combination of big hair and big attitude, hoop earrings can look pretty fierce. I’m thinking I’ll have to pick up a pair like this one ($6.50, from claires.com) for my next big night out – sassy strut not included.
