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 Do you have any pointers for me on wearing pearls on my prom without looking outdated?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!
