If you love wearing a big, cozy scarf, but you don’t like to have the ends hanging down, a brooch is the perfect solution! Wrap the scarf comfortably around your neck, then use the brooch to pin the end of the scarf in place. This will add a pretty touch that’s as functional as it is stylish! You can pin the scarf in the center of your chest, or you can add the brooch closer to your shoulder if you prefer. A jeweled brooch can make the perfect hair accessory. For a simple way to tuck your brooch into your hair, pin the clasp to a headband or pass it through a ribbon. Then, slip on the headband or tie the ribbon around your hair for a unique new hairstyle! If you want to wear your brooch but you don’t want to put holes in your clothes, try wearing it as a necklace instead. Attach it to a chain, a string of pearls, or even a piece of ribbon to create a one-of-a-kind necklace you can wear anywhere.  To make your brooch into a choker, attach it to a narrow piece of ribbon or velvet that’s long enough to wrap around your throat. Make a smaller brooch into a pendant by attaching it to a long chain. Dress up your flats, loafers, or even a pair of canvas sneaker by pinning on a pair of matching brooches. Then, plan your outfit so the colors will coordinate with your sparkly shoe decorations! For example, if you add matching bright red brooches to a pair of black flats, you might then choose a pair of black skinny jeans, and a black shirt with red details. You can add a brooch to almost any hat to give it a little extra style. Just push the pin through the hat material and fasten the hat securely.  Use a pretty jeweled brooch to dress up a cozy knit hat during the winter. Add a whimsical brooch to the side of a bowler hat or a fedora for a look that’s smart and playful. Add extra flair to a simple bag by pinning on a decorative brooch. Try pinning it where the strap is attached, to the center of the bag, or on the purse flap. Avoid using a brooch that’s highly valuable. If you brush your bag against something, you could accidentally knock the brooch off or damage the clasp.
