Dress with Brooch: A Must-Have for Your Wardrobe

Alright, let’s talk about dresses with brooches, you know, those shiny things you stick on your clothes. I ain’t no fancy fashion expert, but I know what looks good, ya hear?

First off, where do you stick that brooch thingy? Well, most folks say on the left side, up near your shoulder. Like, if you’re wearin’ a plain dress, not one of them busy-lookin’ ones with all the flowers and squiggles, a brooch can make it look real purdy. It’s like puttin’ a cherry on top of a cake, ya know? Makes it special.

Now, I heard some folks sayin’ you gotta wear an odd number of brooches. One, three, five… I don’t know why, sounds kinda silly to me. Who wears five brooches at once? Seems like a good way to poke yourself all day. But hey, what do I know? I just stick to one, usually.

And what kind of dress goes with a brooch? Well, like I said, the plain ones. A black dress, a red dress, a blue dress…any color, as long as it ain’t got too much goin’ on. If your dress is already all patterned and busy, a brooch just gets lost. It’s like tryin’ to find a needle in a haystack, you ain’t gonna see it.

Solid color dresses are best
Busy patterns hide the brooch
Think simple, not fancy-schmancy

I seen some young gals wearin’ brooches on their sweaters too, in the wintertime. Keeps ‘em warm, maybe? I dunno. But it looks nice, I guess. Specially if the sweater is kinda plain, like those cable-knit ones. A sparkly brooch can jazz it up a bit.

Now, they tell me these brooches used to be love tokens or somethin’. Back in the old days, men would give ‘em to their sweethearts. Kinda romantic, I guess. Makes you wonder if that old brooch you found at the flea market has a story to tell, huh? Maybe some fella gave it to his gal a hundred years ago. Who knows?

And speaking of old things, I heard these brooches are back in style now. The youngsters are wearin’ ‘em, postin’ ‘em on that TicTac thing. Funny how things come back around, ain’t it? What was old is new again, like my grandma used to say. Though, she never had a TicTac, that’s for sure.

But listen here, you gotta be careful with these brooches. They got them pokey pins on the back, and you don’t want to ruin your good clothes. There’s tricks to it, I hear. Like, don’t go stickin’ it in delicate fabric, and maybe put somethin’ soft behind it so it don’t snag. Common sense, really. You don’t want to go pokin’ holes in your favorite dress, now do ya?

And when you’re pickin’ out a brooch, think about the dress you’re gonna wear it with. If it’s a fancy dress, you might want a fancy brooch. If it’s just a plain everyday dress, a simple brooch will do. And the color matters too. You don’t want to put a red brooch on a red dress, it’ll just blend right in. Think contrast, ya know? Like a bright brooch on a dark dress, or a dark brooch on a light dress.

So there you have it, my two cents on dresses and brooches. It ain’t rocket science, just gotta use your head a little. And remember, it’s all about havin’ fun and feelin’ good in what you’re wearin’. If you like it, wear it. That’s what I always say. Don’t let nobody tell you otherwise.

In short, wearing a brooch is about adding a little something extra to your outfit. It’s a small detail that can make a big difference. Just remember to keep it simple, choose the right brooch for your dress, and be careful not to damage your clothes. And most importantly, have fun with it!
