Recently, I found out that for my internship, all I’ll be wearing for 6 months (and even beyond if I get hired in!) is a black top, khaki pants, and black shoes. Kind of boring. Now if anyone knows anything about working in rehabilitation, it will be near impossible to wear a ton of jewelry to add some excitement and dimension to the outfit.  So I’ve been on the look out for cute little brooches and pins. They are small, shouldn’t get in the way, and many are colorful, which I NEED. I need color in my life!

I’ve been unable to find what I really want in stores, so I’ve been scouring etsy. Then, just before I made a purchase the other day, I remembered that Kerri had a store at etsy!  I also had recalled her mentioning one day on Twitter, that she had made new ruffly pins!

I ordered the one she had in stock…then asked about different colors, to which she replied by sending me pictures of the ones she had! OMG, I was in love with them ALL. I nearly bought them all, too.

All I all, I ended up with 5. I still haven’t told Dan about these purchases, either… Hehe…

Anyway, they came in today! While this isn’t the best picture, there wasn’t any good light to get them the way I would have liked them! (She also sent a cute little gift bag; I’m totally storing these in there!)

Aren’t these dreamy??

Pretty olive green, bright yellow, plum, bright blue, and bright pink (it looks red, but it’s totally not!)

Thank you, wishcake, for the lovely pins! And thank YOU for being a lovely friend! I can’t wait to start wearing them. Now I just have to figure out which one to wear first…Until I have to wear the drab colors, you can bet that I’ll be breaking these out even well before that.
