Several ways to...wear a brooch

Do you have a piece of jewelry that was passed down from a grandmother or great aunt? And has that said piece been sitting lonely in your jewelry box because you could not part with it for sentimental reasons? Or have you been given a gift by a friend or loved one but never knew how to use it? Today I am talking brooches. Time to look in the waaay back of your jewelry box and bring out some of those things that you have not worn. Let them see daylight.
 
Here I show several ways to wear a brooch.


Here I add it to a hat.



Here I had a 6 strand necklace and offset the brooch to add a little something extra.



Added to this pashmina to keep it secure and keep warm.


Hide the plain button on the back of this backless dress.


Finally same dress but added it to a fabric belt on the front.

The possibilities are endless.

Several ways to...wear a jacket

I am a girl on a budget, that is why I am always looking for ways to stretch the things that I already have by putting pieces together in new ways. Here I show several ways to wear the same jacket that I got on the clearance rack at Target for about $12.00. Holla!





Here I wear my Target jacket with a typical work look




 

Here the jacket is worn a bit more casual. Paired with a dress, ankle socks and a pair of oxfords




Here again, same jacket now with my staple black pants and layered with a white button up shirt and sweater



Finally super casual and fun, paired with a graphic tee and jeans
