QUESTION:
Dear Cynthia,
I'm looking for tips on mixing vintage accessories and jewelry with today's fashions.
ANSWER:
How I admire you daring young gals for your bold fashion choices!
Of course, Miss Cynthia wouldn't dream of leaving the house dressed in anything other than the latest look from a 1955 Vogue. Yet, I can understand how one might want to "mix it up" a bit.
The
best way to add just the right touch of vintage glamour to even the
most modern of outfits? A brooch! It elevates everything from blue
jeans to a party dress. Vintage brooches are a delightfully versatile
fashion accessory. They can adorn anything from your shoulder, waist,
coat, hat or pocketbook. A vintage brooch in a sleek modern style is always spot on, like this one from the Etsy shop PoppyLesti
