Once you eye it, you will immediately notice the ones that would look beautiful as brooches. As for the application, if you're lucky, you probably have an earring or two with a pin-like closing jacket in the back, those would easily imitate a brooch and you can instantly wear them as is. If your earrings have a traditional earring jacket, that is also easy, because you can just insert the earring through the clothing and pin the back. If you're earring needle is too thick and you're worried it would leave a hole, try bending the needle with small clippers and gluing a small safety pin to the back.
Those small clip-on's you never wear anymore can be the sparkle the tip of your collar needs.

Farida Abdel MalekThe first time she watched "The Devil Wears Prada" around the age of 12, Farida felt something that she couldn’t quite explain at that time. She was inspired. The clothes, the hair, the makeup and of course, Paris. It made her feel ecstatic; wanting to jump years ahead to enter the industry in a way or another. She is a makeup fanatic and spends 80% of her time looking at new products, and putting them on her wishlist. She studied multimedia journalism, and wanted to further utilize it by writing about her passion. Farida loves to take time for herself and unwinds by watching "Friends" and doing her skincare routine before bedtime.
