Accessories can have magical transformative power. Sometimes, you put on an outfit and it looks OK - there’s nothing really wrong with what you’re wearing. It just needs a little something. An accessory!

We really appreciate how the designers at French label Indress understand the profound human dilemma of the accessory. Each look in their simple, beautiful fall collection is pulled together by a brooch.

The Indress brooches run the gamut from whimsical poofs of ostrich feathers to oversized poppy flowers and epaulets that look like birds of paradise. If you want to flock together with Indress, NYC boutique Ludivine stocks the hard-to-find French label.

Are brooches the new extra-long chain necklaces?
