If you have tendencies like me, then you probably LOVE baubles and bling! And when I say love, I mean ‘like a moth to a flame’ LOVE! I’ve hoarded collected many shiny things throughout the years, and brooches are one of my favorite items.
You can style a brooch so many ways…
And then you can get a little clever with your baubles…

These are all pictures from my previous post! See how fun it is to “play dress up” with your accessories! Note: On pictures 10 and 11, both were purchased as chained brooches already, but they’re great DIY inspiration!
The Style Rx: Think outside the box! You can wear a brooch on almost anything. See how I pinned a brooch to a ribbon and wore it in my hair here. Cluster a group of brooches on a denim jacket to gussy it up! And you can even use a matching pair as shoe clips!
Happy Wednesday! What are some other ways you’ve adorned yourself with pins and brooches?

I love brooches and accessories, too. I’ve got a lot of vintage ones, as well. After looking at your post, I need to pull them out more often! ;-)
Great ideas Sam! I love brooches and just got a lot from my grandmother! I usually place them on necklaces to add some extra bling, but I will have to try this out as well!

Oh so many great ideas! I really like them worn on a necklace, and the idea to turn a cardigan into a wrap is fantastic! Thank you for sharing :)
