Accessories to Spice Up a Wardrobe: Flower Brooches

by AlterationsNeeded on November 11, 2009

Fall makes me want to layer tons of things all over myself…colors, textures, camisoles, sweaters, vests, jackets, jewelry…sometimes all at the same time. I have to stop myself, because, as a tiny petite woman, too much is easily overwhelming. My new favorite sweater and jacket accessory is a fun brooch. Pinned on a jacket lapel or sweater front, it’s a fun way to add some detail and color to an outfit. As with most things, I start out small, and then over time get brave enough to go a little bigger. My brooches were all little dainty things, but then I found this awesome, big, flower brooch at White House | Black Market, and now I can’t stop thinking about them.

I love the idea of a statement brooch. I especially love the size. It’s big enough to grab attention and be a fun accessory, but I still feel comfortable wearing it. Use one in a highly contrasting color to add interest to what would otherwise be a boring outfit.

Sweater: Aqua Cashmere Cardigan, size XS
Top: H&M, size XS

Other amazing pins I’m pondering (do I really need more of these? I think I do!):

Chanel White Covered Knit Camelia Brooch, $599.99 (the ultimate flower brooch! Yum…Chanel!)

I could go on and on…so many great ideas!
