Pin badges are something that I haven't touched since I was about fourteen when I went through a phase of having band pin badges covering my school Eastpak rucksack/backpack only to leave it in a locker room and have my badges nicked by the scary Year 11 girls (who incidentally chucked a ceramic pig that I had made in art class across the floor which smashed into a thousand smithereens but hey, I'm not bitter at all...!)

However, I'm assuming people aren't going to be stealing them if they're covering my chest so when I saw these rainbow coloured badges with a black flocked pattern on them from Paperchase [3], I bought a few packets and covered the heart of a Viktor & Rolf for H&M shirt which I barely wear (so BLOODY difficult to iron....!).  I quite like the weight that the badges add to the shirt which is an odd thing to say but it sort of makes the shirt feel a lot more special as I put it on.  But if anyone tries to jack em'..... grrrr....
