There’s no doubt that safety pins have made their mark both on the runways and as a cheap-chic embellishment in the DIY world. And we all have our own wardrobe staples—you know, those classics in your closet that every woman should have (like the LBD, a black blazer, dark denim...the list goes on). But did you ever think staples, as in the more-likely-to-be-floating-around-loose-in-your-desk-drawers, would ever make an appearance on your clothes?

It may not be a trend just yet, but you can now officially buy 14 karat goldplated staples...Whether you use them to embellish your wardobe or just to adjoin papers in the workplace, there’s something to be said about the creativity that could go into it... Anyone care to experiment and send in some pics?
