A couple of days ago I wrote a post about blogger Jane Aldridge and her menagerie of vintage animal brooches. It's one thing to wear a discreet little grouping of bee brooches on your lapel, it's another thing entirely to wear an entire zoo on your jacket.
So here is how I like to action (verb totally stolen from FF) a vintage animal brooch.
Wear one quality statement piece, like this gemstone fish, for impact
and leave the menagerie at home.
(Not to mention that I like wearing a tropical fish on my on my summer LBD because it is the closest I've gotten to a beach vacation in ages....and I'm desperate for one.)
So what do you think, would you wear this vintage brooch?

My goodness...!
Most def I would wear that one!
Love this! you look great!
I would certainly wear that brooch, it is tastefully and exquisitely made--and only one is needed which is key.
Less is more often applies to a great many things and in this case it certainly does, quality versus trinkets grouped together and being called fashion..no comparison.
I do hope you get to enjoy a great beach area some time soon, my sister raves about the Amalfi coast and the Italian men--this would be a lovely spot for a vacay Belle.
Have a lovely evening, cheers!
Now that is the way! Love the broach!
I'm a Pisces...I would wear it!
