TWP Approved!: Welcome To My Brooch Party

In yesterday's post, I debuted a little brooch cluster on the ASOS Chevron Printed Jacket. Adding these brooches, instantly took the jacket to brand new levels!

What I love about this type of trend is that you can totally make it your own. This is the time that you want to pay a visit to your local consignment store or raid your mother, aunt, great aunt, sister, cousin, and grandmother's stashes. They used to rock some mean brooches back in the day.

It's, also, the perfect time to mix in some fresh new designs. Here are a few that I discovered across the inna-nets:

Yeah, so, I had to literally stalk these Zara Jacquard Capri pants. As soon as they went up online (yes, I have to shop online because there is not one Zara where I live. FAIL), they were sold out in my size. So, I head over to eBay where they are tragically marked up. 

The horror of not being able to own these pants consumes me but I stand firm that I am not going to pay the higher price. I am convinced and sure that Zara will release some additional sizes. This is where the early morning, midday, and evening online stalking begins...

As you can see, victory was mine. Look at my eyes...got 'em!
