But, wow, the size of those pearls! I love the multicolored strands. Lots to learn here! I seldom wear my mom's pearls because they make me feel like I should be wearing a 40s sweater set with them - but maybe this will give me some more creative ideas. Nothing beats the luminosity and non-color richness of pearls.Bethhttp://www.cassandrapages.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-84341334354208719262013-11-12T21:34:22.163-05:002013-11-12T21:34:22.163-05:00I think she's pretty amazing-like Madeleine Al...I think she's pretty amazing-like Madeleine Albright, she dresses the way she wants to, and sports some spectacular, covetable jewelry to boot. But, then, each woman opens her mouth....and out pops sage wisdom, bons mots, and a relative dose of self awareness. I don't care what anyone says, we need more women like this as leaders.

An emerald cut is so you, and I only wish I could see what you do with it. <br /><br />Murphy: I have done several posts on rehabbing your pearls... and might have to write another.

I shall post on this.<br /><br />spacegeek: There are so many thrilling pearl varieties, it only makes sense to slowly collect the ones you like best. <br /><br />Pam: She can afford the best, and wears it to advantage, both in jewelry and clothes. I saw her in a slim pantsuit that was just a knockout.<br /><br />LPC: She regularly speaks about the importance of women's participation in the workplace; her statements inflame some and are lauded by others. <br /><br />hostess: If there is one thing I think women should consider when buying or restyling pearls, it is size- not for the sake of status (there are some pretty, biggish pearls for under four figures out there), but for presence on a mature woman.<br /><br />Anne and Kirk: I've never seen it on anyone else, myself.<br /><br /><br /><br />Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-38745590405605598532013-11-12T16:15:41.742-05:002013-11-12T16:15:41.742-05:00Great post - love the idea of the scarf/pearl twis...Great post - love the idea of the scarf/pearl twist... ready to try some new things with my strands!Anne and Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608890397446043093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-45495831661765853992013-11-12T11:38:30.600-05:002013-11-12T11:38:30.600-05:00The larger pearls really look gorgeous on her and ...The larger pearls really look gorgeous on her and I like the weave of that strand in her scarf, something quite creative, a detail that gives her a feminine edge. <br />hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-71049760618970304272013-11-12T11:23:39.711-05:002013-11-12T11:23:39.711-05:00I love that last phrase - after the mess is sorted...I love that last phrase - after the mess is sorted out, yes, please, keep the women.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-85359267537220038062013-11-12T11:01:12.251-05:002013-11-12T11:01:12.251-05:00I do not think I have ever seen her in anything I ...I do not think I have ever seen her in anything I did not like...you are right, she owns power dressing.

And I have the (guilty pleasure) of watching a silly show, Scandal. One of the characters is always in different types of pearls, and I love that too. I'm thinking that pearls may have become, inadvertently, one of my "signatures." I think I'm okay with that! (Wearing tahitian black earrings as we speak!
