pearls

i have noticed for quite some time now that men, especially young men, be they be sporty, casual or even the professionals in suits, that they wear pearls. the other day at the subway station, a group of young men boarded the train - baggy pants that were halfway down their asses with their underwear showing, a couple of them wore pearls. the one wearing a single strand along with his other blings, and the second wearing a multi-strand choker type similar to this. then when i got to the office, i noted a couple of lawyers also wearing pearls. i suppose that's the fashion trend these days, huh?

52 frames this week has "fashion" as the challenge. i had completely forgotten to ask some random strangers on the street but i was at the church today the whole day today so i thought i'd be a rebel and shoot something else but still within the scope of the challenge (i hope).

Lovely pearls. Certainly not seen this fashion statement here but will let’s you know if/when I do.

It always makes me smile, when people all dress the same because they want to be different. Although it's always nice when fashion actually recycles stuff, rather than the usual wear it for 3 months and throw it away. :)

This is a totally new concept for me, but I have to confess there are not a lot of fashionable people where I live to start with. I will be on the lookout for it. This is a gorgeous pearl necklace and I’m sure it looks stunning on you.

We have a 70+ year old friend who wears a blister pearl he bought in Broome. There seems to be a growing trend for guys to wear pearls although I've never seen a fellow wearing a string of pearls.

Gorgeous photo of these pearls. They must look stunning on you. I love the reflection. I haven't noticed men wearing strings of pearls here--but then I'm often rather unobservant.

Your pearls are gorgeous and elegant. I did google this fashion and have to say I find I'm not blown away by it. This style may get here within the next 5 years, but as right-winged as many here are, I'm not holding my breath.
