This Fall, ornate and oversized baubles are taking the place of buttons on sweater and jackets. At first I wasn’t sure if I was a fan. But the idea has grown on me. Especially if done the right way. Best part is, you can make your own.
1. Take a sweater that you already have or if you are in the market for a new one, get shopping.
2. Determine how crazy you want to get with this project. How comfortable are you with giant blinged out buttons? I am not saying you should shy away from large sparkly baubles, but know what you are getting in to. Smaller, more demure brooch style may be more of your comfort level. It will still look fabulous, classy and on trend.
3. Remove original buttons and replace with random sparkly buttons or brooches. They don’t all have to match, but they look the best when they are somewhat related, in the same family of sparkle.
You could use smaller chic-looking buttons, or you can go all out with a version of Who What Wear’s Marc Jacobs-Inspired Cardigan. Seen here:
This is a great way to repurpose something you already have in your wardrobe in no time flat. I love when trends can be created out of an item you currently own.
