Alicia, over at Word of Alicia, and I snapped some more retro-inspired photos for our most recent blog collaboration featuring Avon’s current limited-edition Iconic collection. Get all the deets by checking out her blog post (an excerpt is below), then snag your favorite pieces for yourself here!
What a great idea to use the brooch on your dress like that!! I have so many, some I inherited from my mom, a former Avon lady. You look stunning in the mauve lipstick 😉.
Brooches are beautiful and flexible workhorses—they can do so many things!
Thank you! 🥰
Avon is over 100 years old? That’s pretty impressive. Whenever I think of companies founded so long ago I think of how lame it would be for me to have a company est. 2022. But then, I realize that you have to start somewhere. Just with my blog – I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for YEARS!
The childhood photos are a great touch. It would be even better if you wrote a short description of who is who.
As for the brooches – I always found those weird – just a sign of old age but your ‘out of the box’ use of it looks good!
Yup! Everyone’s story has a Day 1–yours can start today!
I think Alicia’s post originally did have captions, but with the site changing over to the new system last year, some of the original formatting was lost. 🙁
In addition to their common usages, I’ve used brooches in my hair, on scarves, to cinch up extra material on the back of cardigans/shirts and on the sides of dresses, and as purse decorations. I absolutely love them, and think they are an underused accessory!
