I've never worn a brooch in my life, I am almost 40.

Do you ever wear a brooch? are they only for old ladies who run village fetes?

I am currently looking for new jewellery to go with autumn outfits and keep seeing pretty brooches but I really don't know if I would wear one or could pull it off

I have one that's magnetic. It's very useful for holding scarves together as there's no pin to damage the fabric.

Just do it.

Londonmummy66 OMG your links - I want all of them!

I have a few, all old, which I wore when I was 15-30. I still have them, I shall fish them out. I rather like the pearly safety pin style in the pic above, cinching a jumper. I have got two of my grandmother's brooches, 50s acrylic squares with flowers which make me SO HAPPY. I think they'll be getting a 3rd wind this autumn. I wear odd shapes and I quirk hard, so they'll fit in with my "style". I keep forgetting I have them!

@elQuintoConyo - those are very pretty - do you have them on display - I keep a few brooches pinned to black velvet in a glassless pictureframe so I can enjoy when I'm not wearing. Love a brooch and brutalist ones never give a twee granny vibe. For your enjoyment here's a few more I have my eye on....

Those Lucite floral brooches are beautiful! I have a couple pinned for future birthday ideas. I also like old art deco dress clips on berets. There are some beautiful clips that have lost their partner out there, for next to nothing.
