Why aren't you wearing this? Emerald Brooch

Filed under: Accessories, Must Haves


You know that tank top or tee that's in your closet -- the one that's a pretty color, but just kind of plain? You probably try to liven it up with necklaces or by layering it with other tops, and that's great. However, don't underestimate the power of a really pretty brooch.

On a tank, if the straps are the right width, you can scrunch up one side and close the brooch around it to give your neckline a bit of an asymmetrical feel. Or, if you have a V neck tee, place the brooch at the bottom of the V to add some punch.

However you wear it, we think this Emerald Brooch from Forever 21 is a great find. It's only $7.80, but it doesn't look it. And the color isn't seasonal, so you can pair it with tanks now and a scarf later!
