22 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 I saw brooches as a must-have accessory.

A Guess ad shows a busty model wearing a stunning brooch pinned high up on her edgy denim vest. That cemented the image of brooches as the gotta-have-it accessory for today.

Brooches exude expensive glamor that transcends the limits of time.

I'll let you in on a little something. Brooches are probably the most versatile jewelry piece a woman can own. You can wear them anywhere. Literally.
