Outfit Of The Yesterday: Fair-Feathered

♫: Work – Gang Starr

Once upon a time, a time not so very long ago last year, I decided to do a little DIY project. I took pictures of the project, which I’ve since now lost somewhere, but that’s okay. I remember looking at the pictures and realizing that I not only was wearing my wedding band + engagement ring switched around, but that most hardcore DIY-ers would probably make fun of me for using bobby pins in lieu of pins to hold everything together. Everyone knows that only true novices use upside down wedding bands and bobby pins for their crafty crafts, how embarrassing.

But this one is easy, and so pictures aren’t really necessary. I had purchased some sample feather trim last year, after thinking that I wanted to trim a Christmas Tree in it (I’m full of admitting bad past decisions here, aren’t I) and upon realizing that that was a horrible idea, I had a piece of feather trim with no place to call home. I also had a burgundy blazer from Forever 21 that needed some jazzing up, and voila! I used Fabri-Tac to glue it along the collar (on the inside), which you can see right here:

You can see a bit of the black fabric trim when the jacket is flung open, but since my Beyonce Wind Fan has been on back-order FOREVER, it ain’t no thang. The trim itself is a cheap polyester satin, so it’s not completely awful, but if you’re nit-picky I am sure you could easily cover it with a different sort of fabric or ribbon. You can find Fabri-Tac right here, and lots of feather trims right here.
