Brooches, Corsages, Flowers, Oh My!

chrisbenzpin.jpgCarrie Bradshaw, (or should we blame Pat Field?), might have overdone the floral corsage/brooch look a few years ago, but we'd love to witness its resurrection this spring.


We love Chris Benz' fresh approach. His silk crepe cabbage pin comes in a bright, but still versatile, blue palette.

Benz even included the flower's "pistils and stamens" and we're impressed that we actually remember what those are from high school bio.

The best part is its size - it's not nearly as overwhelming as the majority of Carrie's and we bet you can incorporate it onto everything in your closet.

And if you don't want to splurge on such a special piece, this would be the perfect DIY.

Send us pics!

Yes!!! I love it. I can see it being worn in so many ways. I love the aqua color.

I don't see how this is fresh...if this brooch was instead created by Pat Field and worn on Carrie in the upcoming movie, instead of created by Fashionista darling Chris Benz, it would not be deemed fresh.
