Wardobe sanity check time!

So, I have this stripy blazer. It's by Ralph Lauren (thank you, Marshalls!), it's got a lovely shape, and I've done some tailoring to it to make it fit me even better. But the black stripes are a skosh narrow. They are not wide enough for my preferred Beetlejuice/circus aesthetic.

While I was waiting (and waiting, and waiting) to fall asleep last night, I was thinking about this blazer, and what I could do to it. "Oooh!" I thought, "I could take some 7/8" black ribbon and sew it down each stripe. Huh. Or I could paint over the stripes."

Now, in the vaguely rational light of day, I realize I perhaps should get a sanity check on these ideas. That's where you people come in.



With Kambriel and Neil Gaiman!

You should sell it to me. ;)

In seriousness, listen to your husband. I don't think making the stripes wider would work. You might like it better if it were pink (if that's an option).

If I do decide to sell it, do you want me to let you know first? Since you won't be able to be at the Time Traveler's Rummage Sale? ;-p

:) Nah, it's okay. It's not like I NEED another one. It's mostly a Pavlovian response to anything striped.

BELIEVE me, I understand that Pavlovian response.
