The perfect day to night look: A little pink never hurt anyone...


Dress - LK BENNETT /  Pink metallic heels - GIUESEPPE ZANOTTI / Clutch - The ICONIC / Watch - GUCCI / Pearl bracelet - MAX & CHLOE / Perfume - CHRISTIAN DIOR / Brooch/Hairclip - ACCESSORIES BY ABIYE


I created this look for a sophisticated, elegant lady using my handmade pink & silver brooch. This look can be worn to an office and subsequently out for an evening with the girls - the very essence of a 'day-to-night' look. It can also be teamed up with a fascinator and would be perfect for a wedding, or the brooch can be adorned with a string of pearls (as shown) to add the '60s, old Hollywood glamour to your ensemble!

If you're not keen on brooches, try adding some colour to your hair and wearing it as a hair accessory, using the hair pin at the back.

I absolutely love the versatility!

What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions on how to style the brooch/hair accessory? Let me know.

Love,
Abiye xoxo
