Today I want to talk about one of my new obsessions...BROOCHES. I was perusing through the mall this past weekend and came across this fantastic display at Nordstrom, and my heart swooned. I love this lady-like detail that is coming back into fashion. It is a great way to dress up any basic outfit and show your personality. Check out some of the below shots from Nordstrom's lookbook. I love the different ways they utilize a brooch, and it has inspired me to re-think how I will style my new accessory.
