With multiple work parties, family gatherings, and get-togethers with friends this holiday season it may seem daunting to keep coming up with different outfits to wear to each one.

All you really need, though, is a great LBD (little black dress) or white shirt and great pants. The secret to changing up these classic looks this season is to change your accessories! Let’s have some fun with this season’s hottest accessory, the brooch!

You may be thinking that brooches are something your grandma wore. And you’re exactly right! You may also be thinking that you’re too young to wear one. That’s where you’re wrong. Brooches are a classic piece of jewelry that come in infinite styles to suit all tastes. You can go classy with pearls and cameos or for a more trendy look with crystals and modern, abstract shapes.

Adding a different brooch to a top or dress can completely change your look while only costing a small price. Try clustering a few small brooches just over your heart or even around your neckline. Or add a large one to a scarf wrapped around your waist or skip the scarf and pin it just above your hip bone for an unexpected twist to your outfit. This looks exceptionally chic on a wrap shirt or dress.

A great website with just about every shape, size and style of brooch(including the ones seen here) is WhimZGirlBrooch.com. Not only do they have a brooch for everyone (or two or three) they also have excellent prices! Who could pass up these vintage mosaic ones for just $24 each!

So as you see those invitations come in the mail each day, you don’t worry about what you’re going to wear. Just make sure you have enough brooches!
