“Reaching across the aisle” is one of the many phrases heard repeatedly from the mouths of Presidential hopefuls recently. The only aisles I want to talk about are the glass ones that the ladies of the campaign are strolling to acquire such wonderful statement jewelry.
In the same way we commented on the Vice Presidential debates and the town hall formatted Presidential debate, I will bring to you a political jewelry report—sans fact checking. We will let C-SPAN, CNN and MSNBC do the job of commenting on the political rhetoric.
What’s the style receiving ‘bi-partisan wearership’? It should come as no surprise that both parties’ ladies are donning the ever-classic strand of pearls. We’ve seen the large strands Michelle Obama wears often to balance out her more non-traditional suit silhouettes. Cindy McCain flaunts a traditional set in most public appearances, as well.

This 3-strand 18'' graduated freshwater pearl necklace from Macy's gets you the Obama look above for $300
This gorgeous tri-color baroque strand from Majorica (at Nordstrom for $295) could very well be the exact one Cindy McCain is wearing above.
Pearls give an austere mood to your image and can often balance a riskier outfit. Think: Charlotte York and Holly Golightly as fictional characters that favored the pearl necklace and the most classic of all real women—Coco Chanel. Looks like pearl necklaces are a classic that will be enjoyed forever.
I’m curious…how much of an effect does style have on your political affiliations?
