What are you wearing today?!

Aww, thank you Lady Disdain and Katbran.

I should have another very special piece to show later today...! I love the madamas, too. And Hisano did such a great job with the earrings! A beautiful design.
 
It's casual Friday but let's have some fun!! I'm wearing my PP lavender souffle 22-29 mm souffle on a cord. The colors are so hard to capture on this pearl but here goes...

Hi Pkinnew! Lovely souffle, I like the shape of it. It looks like there are greenish overtones on it. Is that how it appears IRL?
 
I don't have a picture, but I was wearing a 60 inch fresh water rope today of small (maybe 6mm) off round pearls in an asymmetrical double strand, just with a long summer skirt, camisole and white blouse, and a woman said to me that I looked 'fancy' (meaning nice) and asked whether I was going to a wedding. I laughed to myself after thanking her, because it's the only real occasion that people think of for pearls here.
 
That is so funny! I was going to a restaurant with two pearl sisters and we were all wearing pearls, of course. The server asked if we were going to, or coming from, a wedding!
 
Lovely pearls, ladies!

I wore my 18" strand of Tahitians, bought during last year's PP Mother's Day sale. It's hard to tell by the picture but there's a lot of bright green and lovely pink.

baby nurse, your baroque T's are so pretty!
 
baby nurse -- the combination of your stunning Tahitians and your styling abilities with the various colors and textures in the material blows me away. This is a superb combination (and I'm not just saying this because I know you -- it's true!).

BN, this necklace is beautiful! :love: Do you remember the size of the pearls?
 
baby nurse - So classic! Very feminine with that top!
 
Thank you mapo, bsomlo, thecat, and pkinnew!

Thecat, the front pearls are about 12mm and it tapers down to about 8mm. The strand is 18" long.
 
So many lovely colourful pearls again! Gorgeous ripples, lovely Kamokas, stunning Tahitians and so classic akoyas! Thank you ladies; this thread always brightens my day :clap:

Today funny keshis and pink white studs; summer (very hot one, by the way) is over soon and this is the first time I wore my short strand of purple keshis :shock:. And if someone wonders; yes, I have bleached my hair a little... :)

Confection -- your style is wonderful. Your post always makes me smile! (And your hair looks great, too!)
 
FW drop earrings and 3 strand bracelet.

confection10, i'm so glad you (and your pearls) are back! i love the wobbly shapes of your necklace! They almost look like they flutter in the wind.

babymonster, such great classics. do you get a lot of wear out of the bracelet? i like the look of bracelets, but they always get in my way so they don't get much wear.

HHPmom, your new SoC pendant is gorgeous! I can't wait to see neck shots. I remember looking at the pearls in your baggie and admiring the blue pearls and the two rainbow/oil slick pearls.

I still have to decide on an exact pendant style for my 3 SoC pearls. I got so distracted at the Ruckus, I foolishly forgot to take a photo of the pearls before I gave them to Chenai at PP, otherwise I would post a photo of the pearls plus some setting ideas and ask for advice.
 
bsomlo and mapo, thanks! You are always so kind :wavey:

baby moster, gorgeous bracelet. Simple, but prestige. And lovely dangles too.

Today whites, two on neck, one on wrist

Mapo, these are stretch bracelets so they tend to stay in place most of the time instead of rolling around my arm. So they get quite a bit of wear. Don't think that'd be the case if they were just strung on silk.
 
Pkinnew, I love that purple Edison pendant! It has such presence, and I like the balance of the 3 pearls. How can you let those lovely Handamas sit in a drawer?

Andromeda, I really like the dainty flower pendant and classic studs together – it’s such a feminine look, even with a casual T-shirt.

Mapo, I am still loving those Kojima ripples.

Bsomlo, I adore your Madamas – gorgeous blue color and luster, and Hisano did such a great design with the earrings. Between your Madamas and WSS strand (and many other lovelies), I have major pearl envy!

Fly Girl, I love your Kamoka collection. The colors are just beautiful.

Renwea, those GSS studs look lovely on you.

Baby Nurse, I love your Tahitians, and they work so well with your outfit. It looks like there are rings of color on each pearl – just gorgeous.

Confection, what a fabulous and unique keshi necklace! I think your hair looks great too (of course, it also looked great before).

Baby Monster, I love the triple strand bracelet and drop earrings – they look so classic and fresh.
 
Such beauty in this thread, pearls and their models!!

I re-made my T rope into three separate strands so that they can "nest" or just hang like this:
Two of them have matching magnetic clasps that connect together so I have the option of wearing it long, around 33 inches. The larger pearls strand is 17 inches long.

Thanks Confection and Kay :wavey:

Elysian, which magnetic clasps do you use? I'd like to find some that hold well.

Great idea on the tahitians!! I was wondering the same thing about the magnetic clasps.

Confection10 - Your purple keshis are amazing - they could be alive! And you look stunning in your classic white (with some summer-lightened hair)! Beautiful!!!

Elysian - I love your redesign of the Tahitian rope and it looks fantastic tripled! I hope you wore that out to some place nice!!!
 
Elysian, just adding to the chorus...I love how you've styled your baroque t rope! it's so versatile and i am floored by the colors!
