bring the brooches out…

the uses for brooches are vast…i tell you…vast…whether you peruse through your grandmothers jewelry box…or hunt some down at the local thrift store…what a fun way to update any old blazer or sweater…

but don’t stop there…the more the better…how about trying for a cluster of brooches?  mix and match 3 different ones and create a wonderful arrangement on your blazer…whether you stick to pearls and rhinestones…or go for some color…what an easy embellishment…
thinking that is not quite your look?  how about attaching one to a necklace you have…perhaps your pearls could use a nice brooch…or add to a simple chain or leather string necklace…instant statement necklace…and you choose the color and style…
pin one to an otherwise boring clutch…how about adding it to a belt?  or pin it to the waistband of your skirt or dress…get the idea?  so many options…all with a tiny brooch…give it a try!
and if you have some innovative ways to wear your brooches…please leave ideas in the comments…so others can try them out as well…
