My dad went on a business trip to India recently and came back with a beautiful set of pearls (double strand necklace, double stand bracelet, and pearl earrings) for my mom, sister, and me. It was an incredibly sweet thought, and he really won some brownie points.

The "pearl necklaces" that I bought myself are all very fake, so I am happily thinking of my dad when I incorporate my real pearls into my work outfits. I'll try to post pictures later.
