Brooches for the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s: On an Accessory
I decided to experiment with wearing a brooch on an accessory. We already tried it on our upper torso (here) and waist (here). We’ve all sported a different pin in each of these posts and this post is no exception. I wanted to show the pin on a variety of different accessories. Thus I wore my pin on a hat, Nancy wore hers on a scarf, and mom pinned hers to her purse.

There are other options for wearing brooches on accessories which we delved into here.
50’s Brooch: My pin would probably have shown up better on a solid colored hat—either that or a brighter colored pin!
