I have a pretty neutral wardrobe, which I love and appreciate. But sometimes it gets a little boring. And as I was scrolling through The RealReal for inspiration, I remembered a lovely Chanel flower brooch I used to have. (Like this one– picked up for a song back in my days working at Galeries Lafayette.) I’m not spending $300+ for a fabric flower brooch! But, Etsy to the rescue!
It really jazzes up what is quite a plain (but incredibly cozy) jacket. And it was only $34. Quite the bargain for something I can wear with lots of things.
I think the key is to not go to cutesy with a flower brooch. So I’ll be wearing it with loafers, cropped flare pants (no, not these! yikes) and a turtleneck. It’s all about the contrast, right?
Hat tip to Leandra Cohen for the inspiration. Maybe I need red next? There are lots of fun ones available- for a lot less than Chanel’s camilla. (Darn it, 1994 Amy- there are so many things I wish you had not discarded so lightly!)
