It is quite fitting that the first post be dedicated to the pearl. I'd like to think that if I do have any sort of signature look, that it includes pearls. My mother gave me my first pearl earrings when I was 13 and said, "Pearls go with everything." Now, I am the lucky owner of a few pearl necklaces which are my staple go-to item when getting dressed.
Long or short, white or colored, you really cannot go wrong. Pearls add sophistication to almost any outfit. Do not underestimate their versatility...you do not need to be a "Lady who Lunches" to wear them. One does not need to own a Mikimoto necklace either. Faux pearls are just as fun. And if you need to get comfortable with the idea of wearing them out of the house, you can start by wearing them to bed a la Carrie Bradshaw from SATC.
Of course, you cannot mention pearls without a few iconic women who wore them...Madame Chanel (photographed above), Grace Kelly, Jackie O, CZ Guest, and Madonna.
