“Hi Ms. Elitou! I am a young fashionista and I am in love with the overall trend! I love the style of it all and I want to switch the style up. I wanted to know is there a way that I can wear pearls with my overalls without looking like a farmer who stumbled into pearls. I am very excited to receive your advice! Thanks!
American Actress, Sophia Bush stunned while attending the luncheon in honor of designer Rachel Pally at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood in 2009.
She did so, wearing a simply stylish, Rachel Pally top and skater skirt, accompanied with a beautifully bold gold and pearl Miriam Haskell statement necklace.
The necklace really took the dove grey top and black mini from everyday girl to chic Fashionista. We also think the look really stood out with her naughty girl Dior Gladiator heels.
The 35-year-old actress, Katherine Heigl showed off her breezy style earlier this May in New York City.
Katherine looked cool in her brown sheer top (with matching bra), and an ethnic brown and yellow patterned maxi skirt.
She really made her style pop with a gorgeous long layered triple-strand pearl necklace, knee-high boots and large bag.
Ms. Elitou,
I am so excited that my prom is around the corner! I am making last minute accessory decisions and I am heavily leaning towards wearing pearls but I have no idea how to wear them. Do you have any pointers for me on wearing pearls on my prom without looking outdated?
By the way, my dress is quite similar to the one I sent.
Thanks!

Hi Kimberly!
I know that you are excited! Prom is a very special day in a teenager’s life where you get to show your maturity and style. Many do not think about it until it’s too late but shopping for prom accessories can be really overwhelming (almost as much as the dress).

Dear Ms. Elitou:
I am 16 years old, and I received pearls for a Christmas gift from my boyfriend. What in the world do I wear with pearls?
-16 year old Pearl Girl
At 16 years old, there are many things that you can wear with pearls, and depending on the length of the strand, plenty of ways to wear them. Perish the thought that pearls are just for your mom and your grandma. Pearls are for every girl that loves to be stylish and girly.
Dear Ms. Elitou:
Prom time is coming and I have no idea what to wear!!! My grandma gave a string of pearls that she wore to her prom and she wants me to wear them… I’m not sure what I can wear with them that will look young, hip and chic. Please help!!!
-Grandma’s Pearls
That is really cool that your grandma has kept the pearls that she wore to her prom, and now is giving them to you to wear. There are plenty of looks that will go great with her pearls you just have to know what look you are going for.
Many of us associate a pearl necklace with a simple strand of white freshwater pearls, but in modern times, you can now find some really gorgeous pearl pendants in different styles, colors, pearl qualities, and origins—how wonderful is that?
With unique and beautiful pearl pendants like the ones we included below, you can now give up the “old school” ideas that pearls are for a mature woman, and catch up to the latest trending pearls that are sleek and chic. Pearls can now be worn at any age and for almost any occasion.
Marilyn Monroe is forever an icon of style but an interesting fact that many of you may not know is that this fashion influencer had almost no interest in jewelry. There was one piece that she really treasured and that was a simple 16 inch string of pearls given to her by her husband, Joe DiMaggio, during their Japan honeymoon in January 1954.
Monroe and DiMaggio divorced later in the year (1954) allegedly due to DiMaggio’s constant requests for Marilyn to give up her career. During their divorce hearing, it turns out that she still had love for not only DiMaggio, but she also still had love for the Mikimoto pearl necklace he had given her because she wore it to court during their divorce hearing.

Everyone associates Valentine’s Day with red and pink but no one ever said it was a fashion rule. You can always switch it up and lessen the chance of you and another lady wearing the same dress by wearing a combination of beige and black. Your look can be instantly flirty and chic with this style which pairs a romantic beige dress with lace black detailing paired with a simple black statement heel and a delicate heart pearl necklace by Pearls Only.
Many of us are extremely eager for Spring to make its awesome return, let alone summertime! We are all waiting for that moment when we can go outside with no coat, feel the breeze on our skin, and reap the benefit of the wonderful sun.
Well, supermodel Miranda Kerr, got to experience fun in the sun and take a break from the cold on the beach in her native country, Australia.
Sydney native, Miranda, showed her appreciation for Australia Day on Instagram when she posted an image of her in a fashionable black bikini, wide-brim hat, and darling pearls along with the caption: “Sending lots of love to my fellow Australians! We’re so blessed with such a beautiful country! #happyaustraliaday.”
