It's only a minor problem.
Really.
I definitely don't have to limit myself to buying a few pins every other week. Nope.
I certainly don't have friends come up to me and ask to see what pin I'm wearing that day. Nor do I plan my outfit around what pin I haven't worn yet. I definitely don't take selfies everyday to show off said outfits. I don't have a wish list of pins that could easily run me over $400. I didn't ask my mom to dig up all the Disney trading pins that she has.
...
Okay. None of that is true. I admit it.
But I can't help it. I'm completely and totally obsessed. I don't know when I've been quite so in love with accessories since I first started dressing vintage. But honestly, I adore this new and adorable way of further expressing myself and my style. It's like a little finishing touch on top of all my other costume jewelry accessories.
Obviously, it's upped my style game a bit too, prompting me to get my other accessories a bit more organized so I can put together outfits without burrowing through various piles looking for a pair of earrings.
It's definitely a motivation I need now that winter is coming. Winter in all its dreariness can lead to me wearing leggings, T-shirts, and cardigans every day instead of the bother of somehow combining warm and stylish. My wardrobe is primarily made up of summer dresses, skirts, rompers, and sleeveless tops, after all. I'm not a sweater girl, I admit. I'm not one for big bulky knits, I hate most turtlenecks, and I generally dislike long sleeves that I can't immediately push up over my elbows.
This makes dressing for winter in the Midwest a bit problematic. I've made an effort the past year to try to bulk up my winter wardrobe a bit to help out, but it doesn't change the fact that I am primarily a girl who dresses for spring and summer.
I'm hoping the fact that my pin game is strong (and getting stronger) will help in this respect. If all else fails, then at least my accessories will be cute.
A girl's gotta have priorities, right?
