Vintage Inspirations 2018: Brooches are Back! Actually, brooches never really went away--they're just bigger and bolder than ever. Vogue Paris calls these super-sized accessories “Neo Brooches” and writes “Brooches have worked their magic on Spring/Summer 2018 runway.” Whether you prefer to wear one huge vintage brooch in sparkling rhinestones, or a collection of smaller ones in various metals, brooches are an easy way to transform an outfit from fine to fabulous. This week our members show us their brooches, in all shapes, sizes and materials. Whether used to decorate a hat or a purse, spice up a T shirt, sweater, or coat lapel, to close a cuff, or wear as a hair piece--let’s have some fun with brooches!
