I have to say, I absolutely love the increase in the quirky pin trend lately. As a child, I used to collect pins, some of them were my grandmother’s and others were gifts or discovered cheap thrills at thrift stores. However, I never knew what to do with them. The only time I creatively used the pins was when I stuck them on a baseball cap for crazy hat day at camp. (If you thought for a minute that it would look cute and trendy then I’ll just tell you now that it was really uncomfortable to wear. Don’t incorporate pins that way.) Yet, now everywhere I look, I see little pins on the lapels of jackets, on the pockets of the shirts, occasionally on the front pocket of a pair of jeans. They add a humorous, engaging element to an outfit. They are a simple and affordable accessory that can make someone smile and laugh or start a conversation. Now my silly childhood pin collection has purpose.
I’ll admit that this trend leaves me wondering, “Will brooches make a comeback too?”
