V tempted</p> <p>And now you’re a resource for vintage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413548 Thu, 21 May 2026 19:21:22 +0000 Sal 2413548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sharan! And Carol you are right - one is almost the same or maybe exactly the same. Good to know!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413530 Thu, 21 May 2026 15:34:39 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2413530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, this is a knockout look! Wow! The brooch is gorgeous and the simplicity of the outfit with it really lets it shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413529 Thu, 21 May 2026 14:41:43 +0000 Carol 2413529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal--yes, I would think it is from this company Miracle, an English company that did Celtic, Scot, etc. designs. eBay has a lot: if you scroll down, you can see some that look like yours.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ebay.com/shop/vintage-miracle-brooch?_nkw=vintage+miracle+brooch">https://www.ebay.com/shop/vint.....cle+brooch</a></p> <p>And that is a good idea--brooches for people with arthritis. My mother wears long necklaces for the same reason, she can just throw them on.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413494 Wed, 20 May 2026 23:20:41 +0000 Sal 2413494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carol, I honestly don't know if it is costume or real, but suspect costume.&nbsp; My Grandparents had an antique shop and collected and sold antique jewelry for a few years so we have a mixed collection of things in the wider family.&nbsp; I also have lots of 1960s beads which I used to wear but am not feeling right now.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>My Mum had rheumatoid arthritis and so brooches were better for her than rings, bracelets etc so this is a sentimental piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413489 Wed, 20 May 2026 21:59:46 +0000 Carol 2413489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is some info--and I found a very similar brooch on Etsy, also vintage.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413488 Wed, 20 May 2026 21:55:15 +0000 Carol 2413488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a hunch--you should get an estimate on that brooch. I'm sure it is costume, but design-wise, it looks very Swinging Sixties/Psychedelic Seventies. It looks distinct. Maybe just me.</p> <p>The rest of the outfit is great! Love the boots with the jeans--that is a throwback look.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413482 Wed, 20 May 2026 21:13:58 +0000 Sal 2413482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks JAileen, Brooklyn and Kyle.</p> <p>Brooklyn was the one who suggested I look out the coat in 2022 - and I purchased it!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413444 Wed, 20 May 2026 13:56:28 +0000 Kyle 2413444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love you in that ivory color, and your coat is fantastic!

Love the colour of the coat. 10/10. How cool to wear a sentimental piece appropriately in a mod outfit. The sunnies add an extra cool girl vibe :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413297 Tue, 19 May 2026 05:24:24 +0000 Sal 2413297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kelly!&nbsp; I love it when things come together like that.&nbsp; I am trying to be a bit more intentional with accessorising! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413289 Tue, 19 May 2026 03:16:01 +0000 kellygirl 2413289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So chic!

The cream cardigan with the cream boots, the beautiful coat, and the lighter wash jeans with it all -- not to mention the brooch, which adds whimsy and charm and sentimental connection.&nbsp;</p> <p>i <b>love</b> the colour of that coat so much!! Guava is a great name for it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413269 Tue, 19 May 2026 00:13:56 +0000 Dee 2413269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely combination SAL, love how the boots compliment your cardigan, and they work perfectly with the faded jeans. Your brooch is the perfect finishing touch. Very chic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413262 Mon, 18 May 2026 23:25:38 +0000 Jaime 2413262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is gorgeous!

I prefer slightly loose straight &nbsp;fit jeans versus straight slim cut - easy-polished . The coat and brooch are great together! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413250 Mon, 18 May 2026 21:00:01 +0000 Angie 2413250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER fab! I echo <b>Lisa.</b></p> <p>One of your best, <b>Sal</b>! The cream cardigan is gorgeous with the cream boots and guava coat! Just. So. Punchy. </p> <p>Mum's interesting and pretty vintage brooch found the perfect home :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413249 Mon, 18 May 2026 20:53:49 +0000 Lisa 2413249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty brooch! It adds so much interest and detail to the lovely colored coat. The ivory booties pair perfectly with the ivory cardigan. The light wash jeans are a nice addition to this softer palette too. And of course being a huge sunglasses fan I adore the sunnies here too, the perfect accessory for this outfit. You've got an excellent mix of old and new items all in one look. Bravo!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-old-and-new-and-a-brooch#post-2413244 Mon, 18 May 2026 20:27:39 +0000 Sal 2413244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I chose my new bag and cardigan to wear again. This time with lighter wash 90s straight jeans. I also pulled out my 2026 cream boots, a 2022 wool coat and a very old brooch of my Mum’s that I pulled out last week to wear to a breast cancer breakfast. I don’t know the age -Mum always called it her Scotch Thistle brooch. I also chose my aviators as it’s cold and clear.</p> <p>Off to work!</p> <p>Thanks to the forum who have inspired me to wear brooches again. </p>
