So February is here and we are all bringing out our favourite brooches and coming up with new ways of making them work with our outfits. They have been out of fashion for quite some time, but believe me – once you start wearing them you will notice how versatile they are. I will tell you in a later post how I reinvented a knitted hat the other day that was far too big for me, by using a lovely brooch! That’s another story though – this is what I am wearing for the first day of the Challenge:
I am wearing this Scottish vintage brooch with a beautiful green stone for the first day of the Brooch Wearing Challenge!
Here you can see the whole outfit – a dress from All Saints where the draped collar was perfect for fastening the brooch. This is the famous Ring Room at Richard Ogden by the way!
So for my first day of wearing a brooch in the shop, I have chosen this little beauty, that you might recognise from previous posts:
Green Scottish Vintage Brooch from Decades of Elegance
It it most like a Scottish design and has a beautiful paste stone with a foiled back, which the clever designers tend to add to give the stone more colour and sparkle. I have also worn it as a hairpiece before, it is just important to secure it properly so that it doesn’t fall off!

And so many of you have gotten in touch, sharing your thoughts on wearing brooches and telling me how inspired you are to wear your own that have been tucked away in a drawer for years, so I am really looking forward to getting your photos! Please send them to info@decadesofelegance.com
Happy Brooch Wearing February y’all!
