Pearls, Pearls, Pearls!

I should start my letting you know that I am obsessed with pearls. I think it is because I am a June baby, but seriously I have so many pearl necklace (8 to be exact) and there is always room for more. I got the multistrand pearl necklace, below, from the J.Crew Factory for Christmas and I absolutely love it.  

Necklace J.Crew Factory: Store, Factory

When I first got it I wanted to come up with different ways to wear it. So these are the four ways:

1. I guess you could call this is the "standard" way. I simply just clasped the two end together.
2. The second look is a great way make a statement even the neckline of your blouse does not look good with multiple strands. What I did was hold one end of the necklace between my index figure and thumb while i took the other end of the necklace and twisted it so the strands wrapped around themselves. When doing this make sure you don't twist the necklace to much or you run the risk of the strands breaking...YIKES. This way in particular looks great with a crewneck bring out the Audrey Hepburn in us.
3-4. I am grouping 3 and 4 together because they are so similar and they both make me want travel back in time to England in the early 1900s...Downton Abbey, anyone? For look 3, I seperated the strands in groupings of 2 and 3 strands to make one long necklace. I personally like to have the 3 strands in front because the necklace ends up looking disproportional if I do the reverse. Look 4, starts the same way look 3 did but I go a step further and attach the clasp.
