Wear Your Butterfly Brooch from Head to Foot

Posted by damien fleming on May 10th, 2016

Head

Your butterfly-themed brooch can be worn on your head in several ways:

• As part of your hairstyle

You can attach it to your plain ponytail holder or to a hair comb, in case of a ponytail or a chignon. You may even use it as a small tiara by attaching it to your on-the-top bun or beehive for added colourful sparkle.

• As part of your head covering

Your bandanna can also be decorated with a stylish brooch preferably with a funky design to accentuate its print. Just make sure to pin it in a place where it will not be constantly pulling the bandanna down.

Your hat or beret can be re-defined in terms of its look. You can create a customized hat by pinning your butterfly pin on one side, at the front, or at the back depending on your desired look for the day. 

Body

Your use of your butterfly-themed brooch on your clothes will only be limited by your imagination. You may even pin on two brooches on a single piece of clothing although in most instances, it is best to stick to a single attention–grabbing piece. 

• Pin it on your scarf to hold it in place. Since you can wear a scarf in several ways, such as to tie your hair, cover your head, and wrap around your neck or waist, you can use the pin to secure it.

• Pair it with various articles of clothing. A few ideas include accessorizing your little black dress; accentuating your bust line; and gathering the extra fabric in your too-large dress. You can wear it on the lapel of your business suit, jacket, and trench coat as well as on your shirt, blouse, and cardigan.

• Stick it to your jeans. Your classic blue or black denim jeans will be more interesting with a sparkly brooch on it, whether it is placed on the front pocket, on the back pocket, and even on the folded hem. 

Basically, you can stick a brooch on any type of clothing for as long as its fabric can hold its weight. 

Feet

Don’t leave your shoes plain and bare! You should attach a funky pin on the band of your shoes – or any other strategic place, for that matter – for a customized look.

With such versatile uses, a brooch is one of the best gifts you can give, perhaps along with a silver perfume bottleor a set of sewing gifts(e.g., for sewing on old brooches to bags).
