Kamala Harris Has Been Wearing Her Signature Accessory for 35 Years

It was the news heard 'round the world: Senator Kamala Harris made history yesterday as the first Black woman and the first South Asian woman to be selected as a vice-presidential candidate for a major party. Although she's already served as the San Francisco district attorney, the California attorney general, and a California senator, securing the national ticket now thrusts her into the brightest spotlight of her 30-year career.

And yes, that means more people will be paying attention to what she's wearing. As every avid fashion lover knows, you can be interested in a woman's style and her substance, not just one or the other. And with this mindset, I wanted to point out the one piece of jewelry that Harris has incorporated into nearly every outfit for public appearances for decades: pearl necklaces. Our first photographic evidence? Her 1986 college graduation photo. 

Harris has clearly made a deliberate choice to use pearls to craft a signature style—a uniform if you will. Not only does having a uniform make it easier to get dressed in the morning, but I believe it can also convey a sense of reliability and even loyalty. It's also worth pointing out that the pearls could be an homage to Harris's college sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha—the first African American Greek-letter sorority—where the founders are referred to as the Twenty Pearls. Any way you look at it, there's no doubt she intends to bring her pearls of wisdom to the White House, both literally and figuratively. Scroll down to see how she's worn them over 25 years. 

This price can't be beat. 
Harris loves double-strand necklaces, so we love double-strand necklaces.
Sometimes all you need is one beautiful (faux) pearl. 
I'd show this off with a basic black tee. 
These smaller pearls are a great way to make a subtle statement. 
This looks so much more expensive than it really is. 
I love this delicate look. 
Very Princess Diana, no?
Chokers need not stay in the '90s. 
I love the subtle addition of green and blue colors on this necklace. 
These tube-shaped pearls are so unique. 
Turquoise and pearls go together like bread and butter. 

Next, the top three prints of fall 2020 (beyond leopard).

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
