Wearing pearls doesn't have to mean channeling Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Pearl embellishments on jeans, tee shirts, and motorcycle jackets can give you a high-fashion look straight from the runways and a pearl ear cuff or pearl spider brooch will add luxe coolness to any outfit. Save that basic pearl necklace for when you're old and grey and rock some spikes on your strands while you still can.
