BlingBling!

7/28/2011

I first pinned this broach on my dress but it felt like the broach was competing with the red belt so I decided more bling was the answer...as it always should be. I love how it turned out! Gotta remember this for my white button-up.. and gray button-up.. and chambray button-up....

The contrast of the military style and the 'bling' looks amazingly great!

The bling over the dress is too cute. It really takes it from being a plain shirt dress to something a little more special =)

I have a couple of big brooches that I have a hard time styling, so I'm going to try waring them at the neck like that.  Great idea.
