Embellished Denim

oversized denim jackets

 

Resurrecting an old denim jacket with a bunch of brooches.

The jacket was as grubby as hell the time these photos were taken but I love it too much to not post as is…

Levi denim jackets

Denim jacket: A gift.  Jeans: H&M. Jumper: Mens H&M.

I am in a old denim jacket a friend gave to me with skinny jeans and a mens jumper.  The brooches make a change worn together and I love the silver with the blue.

I collect brooches from high street shops and also second hand or vintage shops.  Check places like Housing Works, Oxfam, Salvation Army. For instant gratification Bloomingdales has a few online here.

ps. Since this post I’ve bought two more brooches.  It’s an addiction.

    Lovely Karen. The hand holding the pearl is my favourite brooch, closely followed by the peacock!

    The denim and diamante reminds me of that noughts trend!

    That jacket doesn’t look grubby at all. I have an Calvin Klein denim jacket from the mid-90s that’s bit big. I keep going back and forth between having it tailored to fit or leaving it as is. I will definitely be adding a brooch to it though.

    I LOVE this idea – I’ve got lots of brooches but never really thought to wear them all together. It looks lso cool!
