What better way to celebrate the new season then with a classic accessory statement? I was excited to see pearls making a comeback for the fall/winter season. In fact, it seems that pearls have become quite mainstream in several different fashion outlets. According to Cosmopolitan, an abundance of pearls has become one of the top 6 winter jewelry trends for 2021. We can expect to see them in many different shapes and styles. Don’t think so much about your grandmother’s string pearl necklace (sorry grandma), but this season expect to see them upgraded to fit a more modern aesthetic. Naturally, I had to join in on this trend. My first step was finding a unique piece that I liked, and I also wanted to support a small business. Thank you to the power of technology, I was able to find a shop on Instagram (Bubble & Bead), which appeared to fit my ideal style. This small business is a jewelry brand that promotes ‘handmade jewelry, for the everyday girl’ (bubbleandbead). The brand really spoke to me for several reasons. First, I was able to purchase high quality jewelry at a very reasonable price and knowing that my piece was being handmade per my order gives it a special one-of-a-kind feeling. I ended up purchasing the Isla necklace(s), which included both lengths of 15in and 18in with a $10 discount since I purchased them as a set. The necklaces feature 24k gold filled paperclip chain links, interchanged with sets of freshwater pearls. Click this link to check out my piece on the website! I truly adore all the pieces the shop has to offer. I would recommend giving Bubble and Bead a visit. I decided to stick with a classic look while double layering my new necklace. I threw on an oversized silk button down in a neutral chocolate color and paired it with a beige open front cardigan. For bottoms, I matched a similar color to the top with a pair of Lululemon align leggings to complete this monochromatic fall color scheme. I added a pair of nude pumps to add a bit of height to the entire look. I kept the earrings simple with a small set of hoops, I really wanted the necklace to take front stage as the accessory statement of this look.
Now that summer is over, we need to start gearing up for our next season! Even though the cold weather might be blowing in-in the Midwest, let’s keep the fashion looking hot.
