I just started wearing blazers and I think a brooch would be fantastic for the lapel. Thanks for the tip. Edited 10 months later and I now have at least 10 brooches! They're my new obsession.
Beth! I have an idea for a video.....would you consider sharing with us how-to’s on closet organizing and products that help us keep our closets organized and our clothes properly stored (tee shirts and sweaters ~ to hang or not to hang, that is the question). I so look forward to your blog and videos! Learning much, reinventing outfits and pieces in my wardrobe and passing on some tips I’ve learned from you!
Hi Beth, I'm a pin girl! I received my first vintage pin from my grandmother when I was in High School. It belonged to my Great Grandmother, now my husband and I look for them in antique stores. He's great about adding them to my collection. Thanks for sharing your collection.
Great video. I also adore brooches and have been collecting them forever. My tip is not about brooches but shoe clips. They look like big earrings that attach to the top of shoes. Sometimes when I tuck my pant legs into mid-length boots I attach the shoe clips to either the top, sides, or back of the boots. I really like how this looks, however, you need to be careful not to accidentally lose one or them. Sometimes a long coat catches on it so only wear with shorter length coats. Also, be careful when crossing your legs. I also love Joan Rivers bee brooches and have a few.
Hmm! I guess I can dig out all those brooches I have now. I used to just save them for dressy dresses. No more! I agree with Claire. I'VE got some pretty scarves I'd like some new ideas on.
Greetings Beth, I have a vintage pin that belonged to my Great Grand Mother that I wear on a blue Jean jsckect, however I well try the pin with some other jackets as well. Thanks for your great ideas. Best Wishes, Marty Kozee Masden😉
I enjoyed your video. I have a number of brooches but never remember to wear them. I'd like to see a video on decorating. How much are people using wallpaper, what's the current trend on window dressing, paint colors, etc.
This was wonderful! I have been using many of your fashion suggestions. You are helping me add some variety to how I put outfits together. I want a pair of the sling back mules you frequently wear. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Beth. You're such a classy gal. Great idea for fashion tips- I have a few pins and do love to wear them with unexpected pieces of clothing. Thank you for sharing! XO
Another helpful video, love to accessorize with jewelry, scarves or hats, would love to see a video on graphic tshirts and how you would style them thanks
I love brooches, especially vintage. The history of costume jewelry in America is quite interesting. Many manufacturers such as Coventry, Trifari, etc. used to hire their own designers and created quality items. Some of the designers used to previously work for couture firms such as Cartier! Unfortunately, around the early 1980's, these small businesses were snatched up in corporate buyouts (for instance, Liz Claiborne bought out Trifari), the designers were dispensed with, and a mass market audience was targeted. But with no quality, most of the firms went out of business. One designer of quality affordable jewelry today is R.J. Graziano.
Beth, I hadn’t thought of requesting a brooch/pin video but I’m sure going to use your suggestions. I really like your thinking outside the pin box. Super helpful video!
Hi Beth ! I love brooches too. Brooches and earrings are my very favorites. Thanks for doing a jewelry video. Have a great weekend. Show more of oscar! 🐶🙋
I’ve always loved brooches and collect them from family. My Granny is (96) and she’s given me a few😊 Do you wear them on the left or right? I’ve not heard that yet.
Those are keepers from your dear Granny to pass down someday to your grandchildren when that time comes. :) Wear them how you feel they speak to you. Hold them dear, as you wear them, remember her. :)
I do not wear brooches - I love them, but I worry I will ruin whatever I wear it on with large pin holes. Am I worrying for no reason? Any tips/advice or should I just go for it? :)
Check the pin itself providing it it pointed it should be ok. I have brought pins and then found the pin is blunt these are ok with wool or wide weave fabric. In all cases don't push the pin through if there is resistance move the pin a little and try again the pin should move the weave not go through a strand. I love my broaches and can't imagine not wearing them they bling up my work wear and jackets in general. So go for it
Do you like KennethJayLane boa he’s? My favorite is a bonsai motif. Everyone notices it. I’ve been looking at re-selling sites, but I haven’t been able to find another one anywhere. Must be one I should definitely hold onto!
I seriously font understand WHY the HECK it's called a Borach like Roach but with a "B" but yet it has two "O's" in it?! I'm fully convinced that it's actually called a BrOOOch lmao not a BROACH BUT lmao cuz that's how it's should be spelt!! Haha
It is Chanel; not Cheenel. Talking about style and not pronouncing names properly is totally incompatible with style, or, doesn't show style at all... it's not that difficult for the word Chanel...
you're absolutely right, it isn't that hard to pronounce. which is why i did utter the word chanel not chenille. but hey, everyone has a perspective. oui?

I love large cocktail rings so I buy vintage pins and pendents remove the backs and glue them onto a ring base and voila a great signature ring!
Frugal Mama omg thank you so much for this idea
This is Beth too 😊😊
I'm learning to be classy too 😊
Thank you for the likes 😀, yaaaay
I love placing pins on structured hats and purses
Thank you for your suggestions and ideas for ways to wear a brooch. I also like wearing a brooch on a cardigan.
Yes. It is very chic!
I enjoyed watching this video. I inherited some really nice brooches from my grandmother and didn't really think of all these options to wear them.
You are so welcome!

Thank you for showing me how to style a brooch. I have seen very cute vintage brooches and I didn’t know how to wear them ✨🤍

Love pins and brooches but haven't worn them in years. This video has inspired me to dig mine out and have fun with them. Thank you!
Can I wear a single large brooch on a turtleneck?
I love brooches and pins, I have many! I put them on my scarfs, my shoes, and even add to my hair clips!
would like to see a tablescape of how you would set up a afternoon tea for friends
I always wear a broach on all my winter jackets. I like your idea to wear it on the denim and scarf. Thanks 😊

like to see your ideas for wearing blanket scarves as well as regular scarves. liked the video!
I would like to see your take on how to tie scarves, especially the warmer fall-winter variety.

Just now watching this video, what great ideas, I love pins too, and I have some that I first got as an 8 year old. Have a blessed day.
I love wearing pins...Thank you for this video 🥰
I love your style and feel that you are a fabulous 60!
Lots of great vintage brooches to be found on Etsy.com, as well, especially the rhinestone-encrusted ones from the "Mad Men" era.
I like your "how to put together outfits" ideas. It's been helpful to me to see you modeling your clothing. Thanks for the great information.
Hmm! I guess I can dig out all those brooches I have now. I used to just save them for dressy dresses. No more! I agree with Claire. I'VE got some pretty scarves I'd like some new ideas on.
Hi Beth, glad you did a video on Brooches tonight I was just thinking of how to incorporate them into my fall acccessories! Thanks😘😘
Ooh, I love the idea of adding a brooch to a plain clutch. I am going to do this for a wedding next month.

I love your hair like this, Beth.
Love brooches but worry about ruining fabrics. Any tips? Thanks, Beth, love the video & you look fabulous!
Can we wear a broch along with an organizational badge? I mean both can b worn at the same place?
I also like adding them to the shirt I am wearing.
Love broaches will start wearing mine thanks for your videos you are one classy lady like your style!

Love a brooch, it's great when they remind you of someone or somewhere xox😘
I have the same ladybug pin. It's adorable!

I've seen some beautiful brooches at the 99 Cent Stores!
Hey beth,,simply adored Joan and if I have one regret in my sixty two years and that's I didn't buy more of her pins ,especially the bees!!!
Thank you so much for this great video ! Many good and simple ideas, that I love and surely will apply 😊😉
Omg you are almost my grandma 😢. My mom was 44 when she passed away last year 😢
I’ve always loved brooches and collect them from family. My Granny is (96) and she’s given me a few😊
Do you wear them on the left or right?
I’ve not heard that yet.
Those are keepers from your dear Granny to pass down someday to your grandchildren when that time comes. :) Wear them how you feel they speak to you. Hold them dear, as you wear them, remember her. :)
EBay is a great place to look for pins/brooches. You can search by brand or by category, such as animals, flowers, color, etc.
How do you keep a heavy brooch from falling forward? I can’t seem to find the answer to that.
Hi Beth you look absolutely fantastic x you suit the denim jacketx
I do not wear brooches - I love them, but I worry I will ruin whatever I wear it on with large pin holes. Am I worrying for no reason? Any tips/advice or should I just go for it? :)
just go for it!

So go for it
@@vickyrushton1783 put some felt backing against your skin and pin thru the fabric od your clothes and the felt. Prevents holes.
Thanks
Do you like KennethJayLane boa he’s? My favorite is a bonsai motif. Everyone notices it. I’ve been looking at re-selling sites, but I haven’t been able to find another one anywhere. Must be one I should definitely hold onto!
Ok. I have to rummage through my jewelry drawer. I know I have a ton of pins from the iconic circle pin on.
Its good to see the pins on outfits..thanks.
I have hanging bags filled with pins .... need to wear those I love and the rest to sell on Etsy ...
Lovely, thanks a lot for this video!
beautiful

I ordered the “Gucci-esque” mules from Target and love them!

Hi I have tons of pins from my grandmother and mother and I never wear them. Maybe I will not be so scared next time I go into my jewelry box. Thanks

Thank you for this , you are absolutely beautiful all the way around. Love kitty
Great tips. thank you
Very well done.
I really love brooches but the sad part is... you only "can wear them" during winter.
I don't like to see a brooch on a shirt or t-shirt... 😔🤔
Me me wants a bro-oche
If
For some reason I always feel like my grandmother when I put on a brooch.
When are pearls appropriate with denim, ever? 🤓
I think pearls can be worn with denim ... a white open neck blouse, multi strand pearls...chic and casual mix ...yum
Your turtle neck sweater makes me itch. It looks uncomfortable. You're a beautiful lady👍🏻

Is it Brooch...or Broach?
@@MommaBIGSS-fu1je the phonetic spelling in the dictionary indicates that, oddly enough, "brooch" should rhyme with "coach; not with "smooch". ;-)
