Pearls are my birthstone, but I rarely wear them because they make me think of little old ladies. This Fashionista changed my mind, however, when I saw her strutting her stuff leaving a fashion show last weekend. Old lady she is not! With her embellished black dress and perfect little clutch, her statement pearls pull her outfit together completely.
Between her pearl bracelets and her oversized pearl necklace, this Fashionista has everything she needs to stand out from the crowd. To get her look, try rocking this simple pearl necklace as a start. If you're ready to go all out, try this vintage multi-strand necklace and earring set for that total socialite look. To really add some flair, try this beautiful pearl brooch to give a touch of elegance to any outfit. In no time, you'll be the belle of the ball, decked out in the finest jewels, without the "finest jewels" price.
Hint: You don't need to limit your pearl wearing to around your neck. If you're still hesitant about what a string of pearls will do for you, start off slow with these tiny pearl studs. As you get acquainted with your elegant side, you can work your way up to bigger items like this mother of pearl ring or this pearl cuff.
