Bling Fling- Because some posts need to have a cheezy title

My friend was kind enough to lend me her shirt for me to work on. Hats off to her for bravely sacrificing her shirt without having any idea what I would end up doing to it.

Poor little hapless shirt was brought before scissor wielding, needle swinging amateur seamstress armed with big makeover visions. (figuratively speaking?)

The victim, 2 year old black cotton shirt with no history of alteration. 

I did the most predictable thing- mix black with gold. In my defense, black and gold is a combination that will never go out of style. Not my words. Some famous designer said that but I can't remember his name right now.

Famous anonymous designer wasn't wrong-

Bling, but not in-your-face bling bling that can almost blind you. The subtle kind of everyday wear bling. 

(Random Fact: The word 'bling bling was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in April,2003.)

The best thing for me though, was that my friend liked it. And she agreed to lend me some more shirts to work on :)
