I will definitely have to try this myself soon; I've got a lot of my grandmother's pins and vintage jewelry.&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise/page/2#post-900870 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 21:19:27 +0000 Janet 900870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is so fun!&nbsp;<br /><br />I have a huge collection of pins -- almost embarrassingly large. I've never really gotten rid of the ones I wore in the 80s, plus I have half of my mom's collection (my sister has the other half), which includes vintage things that she and her mother wore. Some are funky, some very geometric, some very classic. I always think it's kind of a shame they have been sitting unworn for so many years, but they haven't been very much in fashion. Perhaps this would be a fun experiment for me to copy you all. Even though my style is going a bit more minimal at the moment (paring down on jewelry a bit, usually just going for a statement ring or necklace), I may have to try this! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise/page/2#post-900750 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 18:04:33 +0000 Carla 900750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this. &nbsp;Have to copycat. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise/page/2#post-900739 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 17:49:07 +0000 Kristin L 900739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it! It looks great with both outfits.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900681 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 16:40:07 +0000 Debora 900681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Angie, you made my day! My two fab&nbsp;friends and I had so much fun playing with our brooches. They'll be thrilled to see your comment. I'm so glad you liked outfit #2. We are going out to dinner tonight with friends and I think I'll wear it! :)<br /><br />Mander and Colette,&nbsp;so glad I inspired you to try this with your brooches!<br /><br />Karie, what a great idea to try with your mom's vintage G.S. pins. Be sure to post the results!<br /><br />Claire, I wish I had all those brooches! The others belong to my friends. DD and I are going to scour the flea markets this summer for more.&nbsp;<br /><br />Day Vies, love your idea of adding them to a cardigan. Thanks!<br /><br />Isabel, I would love to see what you come up with! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900625 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:09:35 +0000 Angie 900625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aren't you a&nbsp;fun Glam Gal who found her magpie gene!

KILLER. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900623 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 15:06:08 +0000 Isabel 900623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a great idea ! &nbsp;I have lots of pins, though they are not vintage or as lovely as yours and your fabber-friends-by proxy. &nbsp;I am going to give it a try on my utility jacket and vest too . &nbsp;Thanks to all of you ! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900613 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:50:50 +0000 Day Vies 900613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very cute! I also do this with boring cardigans&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900606 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 14:44:30 +0000 Colette 900606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fresh way to wear brooches, thank you for the great idea. &nbsp;I'm doing this! &nbsp;I have some brooches that are collecting dust in my drawer. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900581 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:48:26 +0000 Anonymous 900581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm so glad I saw this Debora! I love this idea. One broach is nice, but a cluster of them is divine! I love the colored groupings too. How cool that you have enough of these to wear the all different ways. Your shimmering shoes are the perfect counterpoint!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900579 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:46:01 +0000 Karie 900579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love it! I have some of my mother's old Girl Scout pins, I will have to play around with those. BTW, I like the balancing act on the tub for poses #2 and #3! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-900573 Sat, 06 Apr 2013 13:18:02 +0000 Mander 900573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cute idea!&nbsp; I have a few brooches that I never wear, maybe I'll try something like this!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-891248 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 12:39:18 +0000 Debora 891248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Just chiming back in to thank you all for your comments.

And it looks like you had fun styling them. I wear a brooch on the collar of one of my winter coats...gives a little sparkle by the face. And you'll get a compliment at theStarbucks drive thru every time:).&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890979 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 02:05:12 +0000 Parsley 890979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I love that idea!

Thanks for the great pics and the inspiration! I like both of your outfits, too. I have some new shimmery AGLs on the way and will have to copy your idea, head to toe! Oh--except I will have to find the brooches. I have two that I can think of. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890953 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 01:46:27 +0000 Deborah 890953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is such a clever idea.&nbsp; May have to start scouting for broaches at the thirift stores.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890945 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 01:42:21 +0000 Debora 890945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thistle, your grandmother sounds like she had a beautiful collection. The quirky pieces sure are fun, aren't they?<br /><br />Denise, thanks so much!<br /><br />Ornella, I hope you decide to take your jacket along on your trip. I am going to take mine to my MIL's. I think she'll enjoy seeing me wear&nbsp;<b>her</b> aunt's pin. :)<br /><br />Tina and SarahA, glad you like the little penguin. He has a mother-of-pearl belly!<br /><br />Suz, I hope you do experiment and check out the vintage stores. The little penguin was only $10 and I love him!<br /><br />Hedgiehog, that is in fact a bumble bee. Don't my friends have the cutest insect pins?!<br /><br />Classically Casual, I hope this inspires you to bring your animal themed&nbsp;jewelry out to play!<br /><br />Carole, have fun at your mom's and enjoy looking through her jewelry box! You are right about the sentiment involved with wearing these pieces.<br /><br />Jeanne, let's see your versions!<br /><br />bj1111, thanks so much!<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890816 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:30:49 +0000 bj1111 890816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What a fab collection. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890766 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:56:30 +0000 Sarah A 890766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awesome idea! I love the penguin esp. too The outfits in 2 and 3 are great to catch the whole context of the sparkles and the denim. Love it all over! Definately looking to see if I have any pieces that have potential to copycat. Thanks for sharing!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890748 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:42:17 +0000 Jjsloane 890748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Such fun! Love your versions. I think I'll join you this weekend! I purchased a new denim jacket at Nordies (and once I go back so they can remove the security tag I can wear it... new salesperson and I even reminded her to check...) I have some vintage rhinestone pins that I never wear enough.&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890732 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 23:24:34 +0000 Carole 890732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ok, LOVE this!

I especially like the lady bug and bumble bee (?). I love the juxtaposition of the glam brooches on the denim. Genius!<br />Thanks for the inspiration. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890527 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 20:23:05 +0000 Suz 890527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ SOOOO pretty!! I adore this. I have one reproduction sparkly brooch but I think you need more for the look to work. The other ones I have are plain silver -- really interesting in their own right, but quite different. I will have to experiment, though, and see what clustering those might look like. Thanks for the inspiration!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890472 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:28:29 +0000 Tina.b 890472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I ADORE THIS!!!

I have a small trip to pack for and wondered if I should&nbsp;bring my denim jacket. *This* idea will make me seriously consider it.<br /><br />You have such beautiful pieces.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890441 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:37:14 +0000 CocoLion 890441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So pretty! &nbsp;This is a great inspiration thread, thank you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890433 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:28:31 +0000 Thistle 890433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Creative and fun, what a lovely way to wear a beautiful and nostolgic piece.<br /><br />I wonder whatever happened to the pieces my grandmother used to wear. Some were amazingly beautiful, others&nbsp;quirky and fun. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/glamour-puss-a-fun-exercise#post-890425 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 18:24:13 +0000 Debora 890425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, LBD.&nbsp;&nbsp;I love Friend #1's dragonfly, too!<br /><br />Scarlet, I don't have any jewelry from my grandmothers, either. My circle pin is from my husband's great aunt.&nbsp;<br /><br />Alicat, I love that version too. I am envious of my friends' jewelry boxes!
