As I discussed at great length in this post on the pearl jewelry trend for 2016, not only are pearls versatile and great for professional dress, they’re also the birthstone for June. If you’re a not a real pearl girl, I encourage you to read this post and the prior post, as the current trend isn’t grandma’s pearls anymore. (But if you have nana’s pearls, hang on to them…they may be valuable.) There’s truly a pearl style for everyone!

The White Dress Goes to the Office
This ensemble could go to the office. It’s edgy and unexpected, yet professional! Not your personal style? Swap the bomber jacket for a black blazer. Don’t want to wear a jacket?
