Pearls of Wisdom

no, this post is really not about the secret to success or ending world hunger - it's about how to wear your pearls. i've recently begun to actively incorporate them into my wardrobe again. here are a few ideas on how they can make a fashion statement:

1. wear your pearls with jeans and a t-shirt - it's a simple statement of everyday fashion meets the runway. and don't forget to get funky with it - wear your favorite graphic tee and statement heels.
2. mix your colored pearls - some of my favorite pearl colors are rose, pewter, blue, and ivory. pick your two favorite colors and have fun.
3. diamonds and pearls - prince sang it best, but it's also a good look.
4. classic wear - when going to a tea party, business lunch or sunday brunch - pair your pearls with classic looks - a sheath dress, a classic white shirt.
5. try different lengths and widths - a long strand tied in a knot, or wrapped around the neck twice with the short piece close to the neck like a choker. i also love bulky pearls - wear two short strands together.

girls love pearls! now go forth and prosper...
