My Modern Preppy Style

For my entire life – no, I’m not exaggerating – my style has been classic and preppy. With today’s fashion, my style is less shorts with animals stitched on them and more simple but classic shift dresses with a monogram necklace. But while I may not be breaking out an argyle sweater vest any time soon, I do like a good colorful dress with a pair of pearl earrings. Today’s post contains several outfits that are perfect for pearl earrings, plus where you can get some of your own and a chance for you to win a pair.

I also received a pair of earrings from Pearl & Clasp in exchange for writing about them in a blog post, and I received another pair and am giving them away with their approval. All opinions are my own, and I did not receive any other compensation from them for this post. For more information and to learn more, check out my disclosure policy.

These are all outfits that would great with pearls, especially pearl earrings! I’ve provided 2 types of outfits: office and casual. In some cases, when the brand from the product in the image is too expensive for the average person, I’ve tried to find a similar but cheaper version. These are outfits that are perfect for August and September – and maybe later in the year depending on where you live. Oh, and scroll to the bottom to enter to win a pair of earrings!

Earrings from Pearl & Clasp

Pearl & Clasp sent me a pair of earrings and oh how I love them. If you knew me in high school and college, there’s a very large chance that you regularly saw me wearing pearl earrings. I’ve always loved them, and as I said, my style has always been classic on the side of preppy. The pair Pearl & Clasp sent me are the perfect size for daily use. They’re not so small that they can hardly be seen and they’re not so large that they hurt my ears. Plus, the quality is great. I’ve been very happy with them so far, and I don’t see that changing! These are 9 mm and come in 3 colors, and they’re just $34.
