Pearls, Part III

I still like my pearls.  One of the downsides is that I will likely need new clothes.  My current clothes are kind of worn and tattered.  The pearls glow and shine and look sparkly and new.  They make my five year old green jacket with the worn out cuffs look kind of hideous.  

The pearls also make my skin look older, as the pearls look younger than me.  I don't look dewy anymore.  I am not sure when I lost that youthful, radiant skin, but I can tell it has been gone for a while when I see my skin next to the pearls.
