Here’s a little story about Jacqueline Kennedy
When she and the President went to Iran she chose to wear a single strand of pearls when meeting the royal family. The pearls were understated and beautiful. She chose not to compete with the royal family, simply because she could not. (Imagine that, a Kennedy being trumped!) But as you can imagine she still looked breathtaking.


Why do I share this?


Because sometimes I think we women feel like we need to compete or “keep up” with one another. That’s simply not the case. If you can’t afford something that doesn’t mean you go without food on the table, or heat in the house until you can! You use what you have-and you rock it! Some of the most iconic women in American history have many pictures of them wearing understated pieces, and they look beautiful.

Gorgeous!
You can get a pearl necklace at Kohl’s, or Target.
It doesn’t have to be real! No one knows the difference anyway.
If you’re wanting to spend a little more money check out Ralph Lauren, he makes the most beautiful pearl necklaces.

You can get a fabulous pair of sunglasses at Target for less then $15
AND while you’re at it get a trench coat too. No need to get one from Burberry
