Photo Update - I don't wear brooches! 10 Ways to Style Vintage Brooches

For those of you who may have missed my 10-part series on new or creative ways to wear vintage brooches this is an update! I went to a fun fashion meet and greet the other day and I wanted to show how vintage pieces could be made to look modern and fashion forward. So that morning I got up, pulled three vintage pieces from my shop collection and put together the necklace you see to the right.

I loved it! Hopefully you'll like it as well or be inspired to create a fashion statement with a vintage brooch of your own!
