20 ways to wear a brooch
Once upon a time, I associated brooches with elderly ladies. I thought they looked matronly and more appropriate on dames,queens and duchesses.
Brooches reek of old money. Emphasize the word old... or so I thought.
Then I saw photos of an ultra-cool Chanel model wearing a vest laden with brooches, and suddenly, brooches becaue the covetable accessories they really are.
A Guess ad shows a busty model wearing a stunning brooch pinned high up her denim vest. That cemented the image of brooches as the must have accessory even in these times.
Brooches exude expensive glamour that transcend the limits of time.
I'll let you in on something. Brooches are probably the most versatile jewels a woman can own. You can wear them anywhere. Literally.
