I shall pass on her How to Wear Pearls in a Million Ways kungfu to you.

Ingredient: Long string of pearls. Not sure how long because I'm too lazy to measure and I'll have four guests to entertain in the matter of minutes. It reaches my navel when worn in a single loop anyway.


Double loop.


Uneven double loop.

Um... super uneven double loop?


Triple strands. You might want to check first if this will be applicable to you. The lady told me I have an unusually slender neck.


Double knot.


Single knot.


Short single strand...


...with the rest running down your back. Good for fully backless evening dresses. Were I to demonstrate wearing the aforementioned garment, my (ultra conservative, extremely Chinese) mother would fly to Gold Coast in an instant to admonish me on matters of public indecency.


And as a hairband! It's surprisingly comfortable and stays on well. (Please ignore my fat arms. Winter clothing is too forgiving.

If you happen to know any other way to wear it, let me know!
