What I Wore: Shades Of Pearls

I went to a lovely dinner party last night.  It was at a private club so I wanted to dress up a bit, more than I would have in someone's home.  My hostess makes and sells pearl jewelry for charity and she put a bracelet at each place setting, which was a nice touch.  I already have some of her jewelry since she's generously given me some in the past, so I though pearl jewelry would be a good way to go.

I wore a cream colored jacket over a long black sheath dress and I mixed a lot of pearls of different colors.

I piled on the pearls

Multi-strand necklace and bracelet:  Joan Rivers Jewelry

The brooch picked up the black and gold

My mother bought me several Joan Rivers

watches.  I like the goldtone hardware.

I love this tweed Chanel bag!  

I gave it to my mom for Christmas in 2002,

but she never used it, so now it's mine.
