flower power

Remember Carrie Bradshaw’s big flower pins in Sex and the City? Everyone was wearing them pinned to tops, jackets, and coats. I still like the look–particularly if they’re oversized or in clusters–but here are a few other ideas for your flower pins.

You can thread one through a skinny belt to make a cool on pants and jeans, or over cardigans and jackets. For more impact you could do several bunched together, perhaps of different sizes, shades, or textures.

For a quick hair ornament, thread the pin onto a narrow headband so it’s a little off-center. If you have some stray ribbons around, you could do the same thing, then put your hair up and wind the ribbon around your head a couple times for a very romantic look. If you’ve got a long neck, use the ribbon and flower as a choker. Get creative!
