Pink Paint on a Camoflauge Shirt

Pink paint on a camouflage shirt.

I purchased this shirt at a thrift store.

I really liked the camouflage print.

The shirt has a snap front closure.

Even with the camouflage, the shirt looked feminine, and that really appealed to me.

I thought about adding a painted abstract design to the shirt.

Pink Paint on a Canoflauge Shirt- The Paint

I thought it over, and decided to go with pink paint.

I wanted to keep the shirt girly looking.

I used pink fabric paint.

I wasn't sure what parts of the shirt to paint, but ultimately painted the collar, the front pockets, the cuff on the sleeves, and the back.

I left the camouflage in the front, and the sleeves exposed.

The front of the camouflage shirt painted pink.

The side of the camouflage shirt painted pink.

I may wear a pink, or green tank top underneath the shirt, and leave the shirt open.

I would probably put it with a pair of faded jeans, and strappy pink sandals.

I may also wear the shirt snapped up (except for the top snap).

I may wear it with a jean skirt, and again, a pair of scrappy sandals.

As I think about all the clothes I gave away over the years because they became a little worn, I feel a bit disheartened.

I now know that a few dabs of paint may have given each piece a new life.

Even the clothing items for which there seemed to be no hope could have been restored.

I have discarded countless pairs of shoes because they were scuffed.

I have gotten rid of so many handbags that began to fade in color.

I now notice women with shoes, or handbags that could use an upgrade, and I so want to paint them.

I almost approached a woman or two to offer my painting services.

In the end, I stopped myself because I did not want to be rude, or offensive.

I also didn't want to be yelled at, or thought to be some weirdo.

Maybe once day I will develop the courage.
