The Brooch Is Back!
By Melissa Fros
In this nugget, me, Melissa (a proud vintage magpie) bring you one of fashion’s most charming comebacks: the brooch!
Once upon a time, brooches lived quietly on our grandmas’ lapels and royal portraits… but look who’s stealing the spotlight again!

Forget the stiff pearls and formal blazers! Today’s brooches are bold, playful, and full of personality. Think vintage treasures from flea markets pinned on a denim jacket, a crystal bug catching the light on your blazer, or a cluster of mismatched pins giving your coat main character energy.

I love that a single brooch can tell a story. It’s a little jewel that says:“I’ve been somewhere, I’ve seen things, and I’m still shining.”

So yes, dust off that old pin box or go treasure-hunting in your favorite thrift store because the brooch revival is officially on, and it’s your time to sparkle unapologetically.
