ASK MS. ELITOU (PROM EDITION): How Can I Add Pearls To My Prom Wardrobe?

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 Do you have any pointers for me on wearing pearls on my prom without looking outdated?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). read more

ASK MS. ELITOU: Is There Such Thing As Layering Too Many Pearls?

Personally, I am a huge advocate for layering pearls because it is fun and complimenting to all!

When a woman layers her pearls she is asking for attention without being so obvious. Wearers of pearls are confident, charismatic and completely modish so to stack it them greatly makes them extraordinary.

To answer your question, I do not think there is such a thing of layering too many pearls but I do believe that there is a time and a place. You should stick to 1-2 pearl strand necklaces when at the office, and in other professional environments because you do not want your clients to focus on your jewelry rather than your business. read more
