My grandma is always sending me brooches that I don't wear and I have several 'cheaper' pearl necklaces.

I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23785 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 14:04:30 +0000 Julia 23785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awh thanks a lot for your approvals everybody! It's officially a new necklace now.</p> <p>Ana and Sihaya, I just clipped the pin in between two of the pearls and it doesn't scratch on my skin because it's quite smooth on the back of the pin. This worked because the pearls are really tight together. Depends on what pieces you want to work on, you might need to find other ways make it stay put.</p> <p>aj and Joy, love your suggestions about what to wear with it. Chanel jacket is a good idea but I don't have one in my closet and there's nothing there close enough for me to 'reinvent' it. I really like the idea though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23777 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:00:59 +0000 Sihaya 23777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic - gives me great ideas for brooches I don't wear. I too would love to know how you attached it Julia and does the pin of the brooch scratch on your skin? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23775 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:59:52 +0000 Violet 23775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! That's a very creative way to change up your accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23772 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:56:13 +0000 shiny 23772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love, love, love this idea!!

The longer necklace really makes it funky. I have a pearl necklace that is sort of outdated as well. I might give this a try. How did you attach the brooch?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23744 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:33:46 +0000 Tanya 23744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julia, I love what you did with the necklace! Absolutely fabulous! And it looks gorgeous on you! You are indeed incredibly creative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23743 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:30:44 +0000 julijuli 23743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really good! Very imaginative use of what you have! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23742 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:26:44 +0000 Anonymous 23742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great! I don't think you'd always need to wear the longer necklace with it, especially for a more formal occasion. It looks great with the neckline of the top you have on. Besides black, you could use it with any jewel tones and black and white herringbone or check or tweed...maybe with a Chanel style jacket, depending on the neckline? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23740 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:20:52 +0000 Maya 23740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot with the longer necklace! Very nice touch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23738 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 03:01:58 +0000 Dani 23738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great with the longer necklace and the brooch. Definitely a funky twist on that accessory! You are so creative! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23735 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:59:24 +0000 Amanda 23735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julia -- I like the combination it's funky and classy both. It seems like you would want to wear it with a simple top to show off the necklace. Maybe a top like you are wearing with an unbuttoned cardigan so that there is a long line for the necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23726 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:33:00 +0000 susan 23726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your necklaces look great! Very creative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23725 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:21:45 +0000 Julia 23725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Joy. Here's a picture of me wearing it. I have to pair it with a longer one to make it look better so I might have answered part of the question myself.</p> <p><a href="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk271/JuliaYLF/new/pearlnecklace001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i282.photobucket.com/al.....ace001.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23722 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:44:12 +0000 Alecia 23722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy has a point about making sure it hangs right, but I think it it's a great idea and looks very sharp. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23720 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:41:54 +0000 Anonymous 23720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you show us a picture of you wearing the pearls, face blocked out if you wish? I'm wondering how it hangs with the brooch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/julias-new-pearl-necklace#post-23718 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:28:48 +0000 Julia 23718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a tight budget now so I can't buy too many things. I'm focusing on accessories so I can spend the least to make the most impact. However I don't want to compromise the look so it's hard to get real good ones.</p> <p>I have this single strand 16' pearl necklace my parents gave to me a few years ago. They look outdated even though they are authenticate. I tried to reinvent it with a brooch. Does it look tacky or stylish? </p> <p><a href="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk271/JuliaYLF/new/PearlNecklace.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i282.photobucket.com/al.....cklace.jpg</a></p> <p>If it's acceptable, what should I wear it with? Please feel free to use CRS if you like. Thanks a lot! </p>
