5 easy ways to put last-minute party outfits together with a crystal shoe clip

I don’t believe in the need to buy outfits for just one occasion or a season. I think the best way to put together party outfits for the holidays or other special events is to fully utilize accessories! And yes, by that I mean jewelry, too, but in today’s blog post, I’m highlighting one accessory that often gets overlooked: the shoe brooch!

Using shoe clips or brooches is already a great way to change up the looks of your flats and heels; my favorite ones are from a sustainable footwear brand called VEERAH. Read on to discover my 5 favorite ways to give them more purpose.

1. Clip it onto your beret or beanie: This is a great way to add bling to a look when you have an outdoor event and you need to keep your head warm! It’s hassle-free and works even when you don’t have fresh hair!

2. Clip it onto your favorite belt: This is my favorite way to elevate a simple all-black outfit and it works with most belts because you can just clip it onto the first loop.

3. Clip it onto your shirt collar or blazer pocket: This is a lovely way to accessorize a collared shirt or your outerwear — whether it is a blazer, vest, or jacket!

4. Attach it to a hairpin: Keep your hair out the way in an elegant way by styling it with a DIY hair accessory — turn the shoe clip into a hair barrette.

5. Turn it into a brooch: Use the shop clip to adorn or secure your favorite scarf! I actually learned this tip from my grandma who does it almost daily!
