| Kirsten is absolutely correct, although I haven't seen such a strong reaction to pearls since Nancy Pelosi took office wore her famous strand to her swearing in ceremony; a mixed strand of gorgeous Tahitian and South Sea pearls in shades of Dove Grey, Gold and Silver, carefully arranged to maximize the message of power, elegance and at the same time, an openness to new ideas.
Pearls are the perfect wardrobe choice for women in positions of prominence- they are the essential accoutrement to the modern-day Power Suit, and women in politics understand this intrinsically.
People will form an impression of you within seven seconds of your first meeting. Every successful executive knows these first impressions can either make or break her sale. Well-chosen accessories such as a strand of pearls or simple Akoya studs help cement the impression that your no-nonsense approach to style extends to your business world as well.
A well-chosen strand of pearls doesn't need anything else to enhance them. Pearl jewelry does not need flowery garlands of gold, dangling gemstones or other unnecessary details. Pearls stand alone, unique and unfettered by excess, and they consistently convey an image of the serious and straightforward- yet chic- woman who is in control of her world. |
