The Brooch, the bangle and the Button
Clothes make the man, but Accessories make the woman. We are highlighting three timeless favorites that are appearing all over the runways.
The Brooch:
pinned elegantly onto jacket lapels or blouses, hats, scarves, purses, necklaces or even your hair, these transmit arty, retro chic.
Find them at Vintage shops or in your Gramma’s jewelry box.
The Bangle:
By bangle we mean anything that is hanging from a chain around your neck- watch charms in particular.
It all started with some smart chic who took an ordinary object (a small watch) of its chain and slipped it around her neck. Voila! A major trend.
You can find an ordinary watch face at an antique store guaranteed, slip it onto a chain and your set!
The Button:
Have you ever changed the buttons on your coat for more interesting ones? now is the time to try. Replace the buttons on your coats and cardigans with beautiful treausre you find at antique stores or trimming shops. I recently procurred a three button combo and used them as hair embellishments in an updo. (no one ever guess they were buttons!)
String them on a chain for an unually charming necklace.
