PEARL FASHION: Zack Dobbins Says Pearls Are No Longer Just For Your Mom And We Agree!

As we stated multiple times, pearls are no longer just for your mother and we found that Zack Dobbins, from Gulfshorelife.com totally agrees!

Dobbins wrote an article entitled, “Style File: Not Your Mother’s Pearls”, which explains his thoughts and opinions on how pearls are for the chic and fashionable youth as well!

“However I think it’s time they [Pearls] come back, but in a different mix. Not in the expected “lady-like” way but much to the contrary. My favorite acting teacher and early style Icon, Andi Horowitz, used to wear the longest strand of pearls to acting class almost daily.  But she did it in the chicest way. Thrown on with a white T-shirt and skinny denim— the anti-lady, more rock star. It felt glamorous without trying.” read more

PEARLS OF WISDOM: – Stephen Hoeller

“A pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear [that results] from the injury of the oyster. The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. If we had not been wounded, if we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl. “
