How to wear small brooches

A collection of three bird brooches from the Metropolitan Museum shop. The red, yellow and blue stand out against the bright red dress. Cheery enamel bangles (two to be chosen from the four) are perfect for summer, adding pops of colour and pattern to a solid garment. Simple, elegant gold hoops continue the clean lines of the dress. [Style: Ladylike with a Twist].

If you like a brooch, buy two of them, and place them strategically around the neckline of your dress, as embellishment. In this case, I have chosen two Mawi scarabs. The ribbon and beaded jacket, the feathered clutch, and the spikes (in the cuff bracelet and the earrings), add some texture to the draped dress in olive. [Style: Ladylike with a Twist].

Finally...

Always look at your whole body in a mirror to see the whole effect of your accessories together.
