My dress clips finally had their inaugural run today. I'm not sure they really work with this man-tailored vest but I just couldn't wait any longer to wear them.

| As you can see in the other photos, these don't look so yellow when worn. This does, though, show you why real diamonds, which never age, are superior to rhinestones. |
I found them months ago and hadn't yet found the right way to wear them.
Ideally, I'd be wearing them with a black, satin, bias cut, 1930s gown.

But occasions to wear such dresses don't come along often, so, when I had to go downtown to get a haircut, I wore the clips with this outfit instead.
In my opinion, I should never go near a hair dryer but my hairdresser insists that this super curly look works for me. I think I look like a poodle.
What do you think?
I love the clips but they're getting lost on your lapels so I think I agree with your assessment. I wonder if they would work better on a shirt collar or narrower lapels?

I'd like to wear them with a dress, or maybe on a 40s style blazer. Women used to wear just a single one at the V of a deep neckline, which I think is quite sexy. Even Jessica Fletcher and her pals wore them like that on Murder She Wrote! They can also be worn to alter the neckline of a shirt or dress.
DeleteI love the beautiful dress clips! Perfect against the grey lapels. Poodle hair? Nooooo. That's rock chic hair - pick up your bass baby and thrum us some beats! xo
