First lady Michelle Obama looked lovely wearing pearls attending the
D.C. Anacostia Senior High School graduation. Mrs. Obama gave the
graduation speech. According to Huffington Post.com, Mrs. Obama reminded
many of us of another lovely first lady, Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy when
wearing a pale blue dress and double strand of princess length pearls.
Mrs. Obama truly has been a fashion icon from the moment she has appeared next to her husband campaigning for office. Always stylish and fashionable, Mrs. Obama’s savvy fashion style is complimented and admired by many women across the U.S.A. and internationally. Often choosing American designers – like the pale blue dress is Michael Kors – Mrs. Obama shows every woman great American fashion style is easily accessible. Her taste is classic and contemporary with today’s trends.
You too can be like Mrs. Obama and wear pearls with your daytime or evening wardrobe. Try these popular pearl looks to make a grand entrance!
Choose a double strand pearl necklace – whether a rope length, princess length or other favorite length. Multiple pearl necklaces draw the eye to your face and are a flattering style.
When wearing your pearls, remember that your face will be “framed” by the pearls. Now is the perfect (pearl-fect?) time to wear your best hairstyle. Mrs. Obama’s hair is always stunning. For best effect pull your hair away from your face and ears, especially if you are wearing pearl earrings.
Pearl button earrings are a classic look that easily compliment many of today’s fashion trends. Remember that pearls come in many sizes and colors – so try a bright and colorful pair of pearl button earrings to go with that daytime or evening look.
Coordinate your pearl jewelry with other jewelry. Yes, you can wear other jewelry with pearl jewelry as pearl jewelry is one of the most complimentary styles of natural jewelry available today. Sometimes the “less is more” philosophy is best; consider looking at your entire ensemble and removing a piece or two to get the best look – a tip women have used for generations.
