There's a lovely insouciance and playfulness, hence confidence, in the mass of them. The champagne's coming off as too demure there. Save them for a different dress---or a silk shirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-788067 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 04:56:34 +0000 unfrumped 788067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White pearls! And find more places to wear that dress!</p> <p>One thing I noticed at my recent gala was that I focused more on how people looked close up. So I would not advise making choices based just on whether some item shined from afar, but on how the actual jewelry looks and how the color and proportion complement your face and neckline. #1 is a winner on all those counts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-788055 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 04:37:36 +0000 Day Vies 788055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 definitely. I love heaping on all of my strands at once. It worked for Coco Chanel why shouldn't it work for the rest of us? </p> <p>#2 just seems half-hearted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-788053 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 04:35:23 +0000 dizzys 788053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, bigger cluster for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-788010 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 03:04:23 +0000 Beth Ann 788010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another yes for the white, Michelle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-787995 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:55:09 +0000 Jamie 787995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the white ones!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-787981 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:44:03 +0000 bj1111 787981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>mass...so much more opulent. the dress deserves it.</p> <p>YLF!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-787973 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:40:05 +0000 missvee 787973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting again! You were right, the white pearls are the better choice, by a mile.

WOW. And I'm also in the white camp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-787936 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:41:17 +0000 Atlantia 787936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know you've already chosen, but another vote for the white. Love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-787934 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:39:56 +0000 Suz 787934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 by a mile!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-787923 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:28:56 +0000 Michelle 787923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that was easy. And from the experiment I draw this useful lesson - going with tactile instincts *can* work! White it is, to my very great relief. Thanks, ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/by-request-different-pearls-for-gala-outfit#post-787922 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:28:51 +0000 D'Ellen 787922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the white pearls.

I was delighted that so many of you loved the pile of pearls I tried to put with it. A couple, though, asked to see the multi-strand necklace of champagne and silver pearls that I own in case it worked better with the nude lining of my lace dress. Below I present the two looks side by side, with the champagne pearls coming second. </p> <p>I'm inclined to go with the white pearl mass instead for additional drama, but will defer to others if the champagne works better. Thoughts? </p>
