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.
Other amazing pins I’m pondering (do I really need more of these? I think I do!):
I could go on and on…so many great ideas!
