× Yes, I frequently do adorn jewelry because let's say your outfit is basic, the fit will make it complete.
✓ Yes, I frequently do adorn myself with jewelry because, let's say, your outfit is basic, the fit will make it complete.
The verb 'adorn' is typically used with a reflexive pronoun when referring to oneself, such as 'adorn myself'. Adding 'myself' clarifies the meaning and corrects the verb usage.
× I own like 100,000 pairs of them.
✓ I own like 100 pairs of them.
The number '100,000' is unrealistically large for pairs of earrings in this context. Using '100' is more reasonable and appropriate. Also, 'like' is informal; however, it is acceptable in spoken language.
× I purchase them.
✓ I purchase them when I see a cute pair of earrings.
The original sentence is grammatically correct but lacks clarity. Adding 'when I see a cute pair of earrings' clarifies the condition under which the purchase happens, improving sentence completeness.
× I really noticed many people wearing the same necklace for a long or an extended period of time because I think there's like a very deep meaning behind it.
✓ I have really noticed many people wearing the same necklace for a long or an extended period of time because I think there is a very deep meaning behind it.
Using present perfect 'have noticed' is more appropriate to express an experience up to now. Also, 'there's like' is informal; replacing with 'there is' improves formality and clarity.
