This outfit is built around a vintage brooch.
I purchased this brooch from Beacon’s closet, a vintage shop in NY, a while ago. It’s a gold brooch of a cat standing over a fish bowl, which I thought was adorable and very unique. Though I came to discover that there are several of these brooches for sale on ebay. So it's not very unique, but still cute none the less. To make the brooch stand out I chose this rust coloured cable knit sweater. Then I paired it with a dark brown leather skirt and light brown heels. What do you think of this outfit? Have you ever centered your outfit around one particular piece? Have you ever purchased something that you thought was unique only to find out there are dozens of them out there?

Thank you very much for stopping by. I hope you have had a wonderful weekend so far!

I don't think I have ever centered my outfit around a piece of jewelry before. But I don't wear much jewelry on a daily basis anyway.

My mother never wore that much either, but my grandmother was a big influence in my jewelry wearing. She would wear different coloured pearls to match her outfits and I just loved the way it looked. Thank you Anne.

I do that too. Thank you Yuka :)
DeleteAm not even looking at the brooch my dear, the sweater is simply too edgy to ignore,please ship that sweater to me.Your leather skirt is totally a show stopper and the brooch adds the remaining touch of elegance! And you did make the brooch as you intended.

DeleteI'm certainly guilty of having purchased something thinking it was unique and different and then putting it on, and seeing loads of it on someone else. It's silly, but still. I love this whole outfit! I think it's beautiful and classy how you paired everything with the brooch as the important piece. I love knitted things, they're beautiful. And this colour is amazing.

DeleteI absolutely love the fact that you created your outfit based on the brooch! I honestly am not a fashion savvy person so I usually wear whatever nearest to my hand but I do the same in the kitchen. I would create a recipe based on one ingredient, it's a challenge sometimes but super fun!
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
Oh I've done that too with an ingredient. I bet you are an amazing cook. Those tapas you wrote about sounded delicious! I'd love to hear some of your recipes :)
