Button Up

People discard clothing simply because it's missing a button.  Of course, when it's a vintage jacket (look at that tag, I could just die for tags like that) like this, getting an exact copy of the button is simply out of question.  So change them all!

If you look closely (read: click), these are all silver in nature, but apart from that they have completely different patterns.  Part of the benefit of having a huge collection of vintage buttons is full use of the collection on thrifted clothing items that need them!

Next, a new jacket that had awfully white buttons that simply didn't go with the dress with which I want to wear the jacket (because I always have a plan).

   

BAM.  Vintage gold and rhinestone (you can't really see here, but the middle one has an original Model T!!! How appropo):

It makes my heart happy.
