Let’s “Brooch” this topic!
But first, congrats to the first vintage jewelry giveaway winner, comment #2, according to a drawing at Random.org. Enjoy your necklace, Katie!
Congrats!
OK, back to business--I'm sorry for the cheesy pun. If you accept my apology, let's move on to tutorial #3 on fun ways to wear vintage scarfs!
As you can see from this entry, I took a fun and colorful vintage scarf from Hope's Outlet (normally priced between .49-.99 cents) and created an adorable and fancy brooch simply by twisting it into knots, twirling it around, and pinning it to my cardigan with a safety pin! To finish it off, I placed an additional white rose pin of mine in the center, which I happened to have matching earrings for (also pictured in the accessories below).
The rest of the outfit is ONE HUNDRED percent thrifted, totalling a cost of about $13 for shirt, skirt (the black ribbed skirt has showed up OFTEN in my blog; it goes perfectly with EVERYTHING!), cardigan, vintage white chenille cloche with rhinestone embellishment and shoes.
Can you believe that I paid 99 cents for that red patent leather Anne Klein belt, in impeccably new condition???
Many items did indeed come from Hope's Outlet but the adorable cloche was a great find at Goodwill of Grand Rapids, MI on Division street! They have now separated many vintage items into a section (if you prefer not to dig around for them) and this was among some other very neat pieces!
