How awesome is it that the fab flair trend has returned?
I covered my jackets and bags with loads of quirky pins in the 90’s and am thrilled that thrift shops are so well-stocked with retro and vintage buttons and bijou just waiting to be added to my collection!
Throwing some flair on a jacket is old school so I figured I’d update the trend a bit and style up my DIY distressed denim maxiskirt with Buttons & Pins on #ThriftyThursday! Grab the thrifty deets and refashionista tutes below:
