I used to hate pearls. I found them fussy and prim. But then, I discovered a pair of pearl drop earrings that totally changed my mind. Now, I love wearing modern pearl earrings.

Have a big day ahead? Major hearing? Big trial? The presentation of your life? Gonna be at a conference with that ex? Whatever it happens to be, these are the fashion weapons that get me to the confidence level that I need to be at.
Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
When I started this blog, influencers still re-wore clothes. There were no haul videos filled with the latest from Shein before it winds up in a beach in Ghana poisoning the planet. There were no sponsored campaigns delivering fresh wardrobes each month. The content machine doesn’t like reruns.

When I was young, my Mother used to bring me along when she would go shopping for fabric. As a result, I spent a lot of time, killing time, flipping through pattern books. So when I spotted this dress, I was instantly transported to the pattern table at a Jo-Ann Fabrics.
I wore pearl drop earrings to my beach wedding in Japan! Pearls are very popular here and fit with the delicate Japanese jewelry aesthetic. If it’s possible to order abroad, I recommend the brand Agete (http://www.agete.com) for the “corner office” category. Of course, Japanese brand “Mikimoto” is famous for its pearls, but very pricey.
Thanks for providing options, Abra!
Gosh, those Agete earrings are beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. I too love pearl drops. I always liked classic pearls (I am originally from the south, so it’s in my blood…), but I’m excited to see how many designers are modernizing them. Fun to have both.
I used to feel the same about prim pearls…but have lately veered toward their classic look. I love those hoops and bars drops. However, I’m tired of buying items like this where the finish comes off in about 3 months. I wish Tiffany would create modern classic pieces like this. Of course, they would be $$$ but you’d have them forever, which to me, is the point of “classic”.
