Cover that bleach splatter!

Sooo...remember this seriously cool tunic-y top from my GCC score? 

Woo hoo!

I finally got around to trying it on and maybe it's the bloated feeling talking but I'm totally digging this shirt as is. I mean, doesn't every girl need a few pieces that are perfect for bloated days? Well, this piece is going to be one. 

The smocking panel is the same on the back as it is on the front so it actually pulls it in just enough to show that a waist line does in fact exist and I'm not simply giving up on my body. But it's so roomy that I can't bear to even mess with the sides right now. Yes, it makes me look like I'm in the early stage of pregnancy but I don't give a flip. I'm bloated and nasty feeling and I just want to be comfortable and I'm not. (Want cheese with that wine?)

As I was trying it on and wanting to sleep in it I immediately noticed 2 things. 

One- the tag would not lay down in the back! The top is simply too big and the back gapes between my shoulder blades and that tag just flips out and dangles there like a dog on a hot day. Ugly. So off it came. 

Pick pick pick and toss. 

Next is a little more serious. Bleach splatter. Yep, four of them. How did I miss those?! Gah! But no fear here. I can totally cover those up. 

What. The. Heck. ?!?!?!?!?

Enter Tulip Fabric Markers. Black to be specific. This top may be navy but remember my last experiment with black and how it made the blue all better? Well, I'm applying the same principle here. 

Don't forget to use that 40% off coupon code @ Hobby Lobby. 

All I did was just use my lessons from Daycare- color inside the lines. Let it dry 24 hours and then washed and dried. Just looky..

Ready to wear. 

I must say so far I'm impressed. I was about to just use a sharpie but decided against it when I read that the black ink can leave a yellow ring after awhile. I didn't want to risk it so I figured this was the best bet. 

I even did another top that I bought at GCC and was willing to put some effort into it considering that it's linen and Cubavera brand. D has one of these shirts and loves it, it's classic and the style is characteristic of Ybor/Tampa. 

And here is that shirt: 

I refuse to give up on this!

Color. 

Much better!

Hope this helps.
