Costume jewellery-brooches

As well as my love of clothes, I love costume jewellery, particularly brooches. They are a easy way to pretty up an outfit and if you thrift them, can be a cheap accessory too.
Here are my collection of brooches that I've bought over the last couple of years-I'm quite fussy, so I've still a small collection-roll on the boot sales, as I'll be on the hunt for more this summer!

Parfum Christian Dior Brooch, £10 Wansted Rugby Club boot sale

Butler & Wilson kitty brooch, £1 Collier Row boot sale from the lovely mother in law

Double diamante heart brooch, £2 The Red Cross charity shop


'S' brooch, 50p, Church jumble sale



Kenneth Jay Lane for Avon vintage brooch, £4.50, Ebay

Oh..I love these! I love to put stuff like this on my berrets too.

Thanks so much for the note. I guess I like to mix different ones up when I'm writing.

Hi,

Oh, Sharon. I remember when you wrote that you have many brooches, but you do not wear them. Please pin up (for example: on your Chanel jacket), because they are amazing. My fav: cat brooch and "S" brooch.

xoxo & hugs: Janet

I LOVE costume jewellery too! Your finds are so pretty!

I'm really excited that our new First Lady is such a brooch lover. I'm hoping it will spark a trend over here!
