Brooches - Your Pin Everywhere Jewel

A brooch or a jewelled pin is a chameleon. That simple pin many might associate with little old ladies is the most versatile jewel you can ever own.
Okay, the typical way to wear your brooch is on your left breast pocket. Sure. Brooches look great worn like that but, hey, be creative. Brooches are jewelled pins you can pin on anywhere. Literally. Except into your skin. Just be careful you don't pin yourself. Ouch!

For one thing, you can pin your brooch anywhere on your outfit where you want to draw the eye.

Button a shirt or blouse all the way to the top and pin a brooch over the top button to draw attention to your face. That is a classic look that is very sophisticated and pretty.

Pin the brooch at the top of the slit of your skirt to draw attention to your legs. It is a sexy and unconventional way to wear a brooch.

Brooches can be used to accessorize your accessories.

Turn a plain old fabric covered hair clip into a glamorous hair accessory by pinning a brooch (or two) on it. Show off your new hairclip when you put your hair in a pony tail or an updo.

Turn a plain clutch purse into a jewelled clutch by fastening a brooch (or two, three or more) on the front of your clutch.

That's just for starters. So you see, a girl can never have too many brooches.
