We all have our keepsakes. Some of them we have gathered on our own over the years. Others have been passed down to us, and are loaded with the memories and experiences of their past owners. These are the best keepsakes in my opinion. It mirrors humanity; we are a collective race, handing down the keepsake (life) to each new generation and with it passing down experience and memory (DNA) with it.
Some of my most treasured keepsakes happen to be items having to do with fashion, what a coincidence haha. They're pins!!! Pins are the best accessories besides fake gold chains. Any youth who wants to be hip should own pins. The more corny, the better as I see it :-P
My pin collection was passed down to me from my father. He no doubt wore the ones that I wear today when he was in high school in the mid 80's. The have captions like "buffalo gals" and "insect surfers"on them. This is great because I take my style from the early 2000's, early 90's and the late 80's. Grunge is quite adaptable; it takes acceptions if you know how to do it right. In my experience, the right pin can go on top of a neon jacket and make your face look cool as hell. Does that even make sense??? You'd have to see it to know what I mean!
Here's my passed-down pin collection:
((((My favorite pin of Prince))))
~Here's what another one of my Prince pins looks like on my favorite jacket~
With the right things to spice up what you wear, you can develop your own style. This can be accomplished by simply making your pins or jewelry so that no one else has anything like it. You can take a step in the right direction and wear things that might now be considered "jewelry" as jewelry and see how it turns out. Natural accessories i.e carved wood, bone, stones are great but you can also experiment with artificial materials like neon plastic or silicon jelly bracelets etc. What kind of accessories do you use?
