Something came over me and I was like, I feel like if this green bag had some colorful little details on it, it would really make my outfit right now.

And it worked because the bag is fabric, right?

So I could just poke it right through.

Ever since I did this with the bag, put the buttons all over it, I have used that bag like every day.

I kid you not, it's become my go-to bag.

It was my like, I loved that bag before and I used it all the time, but I put all the buttons on it, that has become my go-to bag.

All the colors on it, the fact that it's so dynamic.

I am now obsessed with that bag.

It's the only bag I want to take around with me because it's the most interesting one.

But at the same time, what's great about it is that at any point I can take all of those buttons off, all those pins off, and I have my simple green bag again.

And sometimes really taking something that you love and really putting effort into it to spice it up can make you fall in love with it in a way you never even knew possible.

You know, it's become sort of a trend to personalize your bag, put a bunch of key chains on it, you know, attach jewelry to it, put stickers on it, like whatever.

Like it became a trend to sort of beat up your purse and give it personality.

Perhaps this idea subconsciously came from that.

But I think the reason why I love it so much is because I've collected the pins over time.

Half of them are ones that I found online that I thought were funny and matched my personality.

The other half, random vintage ones that I found at flea markets and stuff like that.

But they all do feel personal to me.

And I think that's what makes this sort of version of personalizing my bag feel kind of...

genuine, I guess, to me.
