Refashioning: Turning Gold Buttons Silver

So, I am a Type 4. If you don't know what that means, go here

Type 4s look best in pure hues and high shine silver (among other things). I just love this jacket. My camera has a deficiency when picking up greens and blues. This jacket is way bluer than the picture shows. Anyways, It's great--tailored, lined, structured--but the buttons were gold, so I needed to turn them silver. (Sorry, this is the best background I had in the room. After learning about "Dressing Your Truth," my sewing room turned into a disaster area for about 4 solid weeks. This should tell you more than anything else that I have a patient husband.)




I got out my bottle of silver nail polish and went to work. (Carol suggests if you are Type 1 or 3, to cut a slit in a post it note and put one under each button as you paint so you don't get paint on your clothes.)




All better! It took about five minutes.



The End!
