Being somewhat reminiscent of a stylish sheriff's badge (are there any stylish sheriffs?), I usually choose this pin when I have to play a policing role, as regular readers know, because I've worn this one before. Yes, it's the first repeat wearing.Mercifully, I wasn't playing policeman today: I chose the Circle Star because it's a simple, subtle pin which went well with my not-so-subtle, lime green, Volcom T-shirt.
At my age, I really should be wearing polo shirts by now, as I said a few days ago: but my soul is still my own, so I refuse. I choose "Youth Against Establishment", as Volcom ineloquently yet persuasively puts it, just as I choose Reaperwear over Ralph Lauren.
The Circle Star reveals more the more you look, and I like that. It's a simple circle of steel with brass spokes, a brass star in the centre, and copper studs: but the steel is delicately textured, and there's a harmony to it that totally works for me. Hats off to the designer, Phillip Valdez.
