Leslie Stahl’s earrings are making me crazy. Leslie (or her stylist) has apparently decided that her signature look is large, chunky stone earrings that perfectly match whatever she is wearing. Blue blazer with black turtleneck? Blue and black “quartz” looking earrings. She does this ALL THE TIME and it’s making me insane. Of course I couldn’t find any really good pictures of this on the Internets to illustrate, though here are a few (click on image to see larger):
If you watch an episode of “60 Minutes” where Leslie is doing a story, you’ll notice it immediately. These earrings are a vile offense to fashion and here’s why:
- The whole “matchy-matchy” aspect is so lame. It’s like Garanimals for jewelry. Everyone (well, everyone with taste) knows you’re never supposed to match everything.
- The earrings themselves are all incredibly ugly, like giant rocks that Wilma Flintstone might wear on a night out on the town.
Horrible, horrible, horrible. Those earrings are all I can think about lately when I’m trying to fall asleep at night. Damn you, Leslie Stahl (or Leslie Stahl’s stylist)!

Thank you! I am watching 60 Minutes right now and it has driven me crazy for so long, I finally decided to look and see if it was just me. They make me crazy and they are like she is making them to match her outfits or something. I can’t even focus on her stories anymore because I am consumed with her earrings. My boyfriend thinks I am insane!

Ha ha! The first time I mentioned it to my husband, he also thought I was insane. Then he really watched and admitted I was right. Those earrings are way too “matchy-matchy” and ugly to boot!

OMG her earrings are SOOOOO horrible they are not even funny! They’re just terrible. She probably pays good money too for those ugly things, and when she can afford to buy nice ones OMG.

this is too funny…i found your blog is because i googled LS’s earrings. I love them and was hoping to find out where she shops.

Well, to each his own I guess.
I have no idea where she shops but I bet you could find a lot of similar earrings in semi-precious gemstones on Etsy.com.
The earrings just distract me too much now. Whenever she’s on TV, all I can do is stare at her dang earrings.

I agree with Kiki. I too googled “Leslie Stahl’s earrings” to see where I can get them. I think they’re smart looking.

Please find out where Leslie Stahl gets those ugly earrings and let me know.

Wow, is Leslie just lately wearing some cuter earrings that I don’t know about? I’m going to have to specifically try to catch her on 60 Minutes and see what’s up.

I also googled about those earrings. I wanted to buy them for my niece who is a reporter. Where can we buy those earrings…. I love them. Help!

Wow! I am glad that I am not the only one who googled this strange matchy-matchy phenomenon. I am truly sorry Ms. Stahl I do not like them and wish that you would let that fashion statement go. It may have worked well in the 80’s but we all must move on. Please…

I’m sorry Joyce - I have no idea where Leslie actually gets her earrings.
