Pearls have been embellishing EVERYTHING lately, from fluffy Cher-from-Clueless slides to statement handbags to haute couture gowns like this Prabal Gurung stunner, which I would give my left arm for:
Take a gander at these street style mavens:
Love love love their fearlessness. That last snap in particular reminds me to just GO FOR IT when I see something I like. Enorma-pearl slides? Why the hell not?! She looks super chic with that glossy red pedi.
At any rate, some of my favorite embellished finds — some pearl-bedecked and others fancy in a similar vein:
Tory Burch Tatiana Slides ($358) // Pearl-encrusted clutch ($120) // Sandro Lace-Paneled Crepe Dress (on sale for $164) // Statement Pearl Earrings (FIERCE! — $295) // Stuart Weitzman Pearl Sandals ($455) // Shashi Chain Drop Earrings (#BARGAIN — $35)
I’m also dying over the Sandro lace dress above (on sale for $285), which feels like the perfect foil for so many of these embellished pieces.
Cinq a Sept Pearl Ruffled Crepe Top (on sale for $172) // Pearl Embellished Mule ($33) // Gucci Marmont Bag ($2,890) // Feather-Embellished Sandals ($585) // Majorica Pearl Choker ($85)
And how incredible are these pearl-encrusted, velvet-ankle-wrapped mules from Attico (on sale for $316)?!?!? MEEEEEP. I DIE.
TopShop Ruffle Crop Jacket ($85 — LOVE THIS) // J. Crew Rosebud Drop Earrings ($58) // Suede Bow-Topped Ulla Johnson Sandals ($425) // Danse Mini Tote ($390) // Navy Flared Sleeve Jacket ($100)
AHHH. I want all the things. Finally, a few other pieces I’m dying over in this vein:
+Perfect eyelet blush dress (on sale for $99).
+Tie-sleeved dress (on sale for $33!!!)
+The prettiest dress for a late summer wedding from a new favorite label of mine, Saylor ($242). Also love love love this.
+Lastly, two items currently in my shopping cart that I am 99.9% likely to pull the trigger on today: this stunning flutter-sleeved dress ($138 — DYING OVER THE BOWS IN THE BACK) and this tiered, striped poplin top with cool pearl accents ($58)!!!
As a June baby, I have a soft spot for pearls, and I particularly love when they are employed in non-traditional ways. Those earrings from Moda Operandi are so perfect — the good-girl-ness of the pearl is tempered by the gold spike element! Love love love.
I KNOW! I love love love them.
Ok! The pearl embellished mules from Charlotte Russe are now $20.00. Yes. I bought them earlier and am more than pleased with them. Very nice shoe!!! Thanks for the find
YAY! Love when a budget buy turns out magical 🙂 Also, love getting a good deal on a trend. xoxo
I’m on the pearl train too! These are all to die for! Thank goodness the navy pearl studded dress is no longer available or else….. Love, love, love the pearl mules! Thank you for this post!
So glad it resonated, Claire — I’m having to use all my restraint to prevent myself from buying all.the.things. In particular, how many pairs of pearl-encrusted shoes does a gal need??? Can I justify multiple?!?!
