Quick answer
Wear the LOVE YOURSELF lapel pin on a structured jacket or bag strap where it sits flat and visible, and carry the My Pleasure My Rules tote as your everyday bag. Together they turn a simple outfit into a quiet statement of self-love and confidence.
Why placement matters more than the pin itself
A lapel pin draws the eye wherever you put it, so choose a spot that feels natural to your outfit rather than forcing it onto thin or stretchy fabric. The pin is a gold metal design, so it reads best against solid colors or subtle textures that let the message stand out without competing.
The tote is a cotton bag measuring 38cm x 42cm (15in x 16.5in), which gives you a generous canvas for everyday essentials. Because the slogan is printed on the bag, treat it as the louder piece and let the pin be the quieter accent—or reverse the roles if you prefer.
When the combo works best—and when to split it
The pin-and-tote combo suits casual days, creative workplaces, and weekends when you want your accessories to carry a message. If you are heading to a formal event, the tote may feel too relaxed; wear the pin alone on a blazer or scarf instead.
For a more subtle approach, carry the tote and leave the pin at home, or pin it inside a jacket lining as a private reminder. Neither piece requires the other, so use them as separate tools depending on the mood you want to set.
How to style the pin and tote step by step
- Choose your base outfit: Start with a solid-color top or jacket in a neutral or deep tone so the gold pin and the tote's message both stand out. Avoid busy prints that compete with the accessories. Lay the outfit flat and place the pin and tote next to it before you put anything on—this helps you see the balance.
- Test pin placement on the garment: Put on the jacket or top and stand in front of a mirror. Try the pin on the left lapel, right lapel, or chest area. The pin should sit flat and not pull the fabric. If the fabric is thin or stretchy, add a small piece of interfacing behind it or choose a sturdier garment. Pin through a seam or reinforced area when possible to avoid leaving a hole.
- Position the tote for comfort and visibility: Carry the tote on your shoulder or in your hand so the printed slogan faces outward. Adjust the straps so the bag sits at hip level or slightly higher—this keeps the message readable and the bag comfortable for daily use. Check that the bag does not cover the pin; if it does, move the pin to the opposite side.
- Balance the message with the rest of your accessories: Keep other jewelry minimal—small earrings or a simple bracelet—so the pin and tote remain the focal points. If you wear a scarf, pin the lapel pin to the scarf instead of the jacket to avoid clutter. Remove one accessory if the look feels busy; the pin and tote should feel like a deliberate pair, not an overload.
- Do a final mirror check and secure the pin: Fasten the pin clasp firmly and tug gently to make sure it is secure. Turn to check the tote's position from the side and back. Adjust until both pieces feel natural and you can move freely. Carry a spare clasp in your tote in case the pin comes loose during the day.
