Today I am wearing the Lip Service jacket (clicky link to eBay!) that I spent most of my free time last week customizing.
"Customizing?" I hear you say? Why yes. Because I am (possibly) crazy, I hand-colored all the white on the jacket with Copic markers (clicky link!) in "Sugar Almond Pink". Copic markers are waterproof, and you can buy ink refills for them, which means they're perfect for clothing modification.
Coloring the jacket was a strangely soothing activity. It was something I could do while watching movies or talking to people, and now I have a Victorian-esque pirate-y jacket with pink & black striped trim. (I also now have a matching waist cincher, which was easier to color than the ruffles on the jacket.)
(There will be a photo of the newly-customized jacket posted to Shoutfit in the next couple of days. My co-worker and former office-mate likes to take photos, which means she doesn't mind helping me document the outfits I wear to work each day.)
