I picked up this jacket at a thrift store a few months ago for $3. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to refashion it, and for $3, how could I go wrong? I decided to applique some big pops of color, and used Heather Bailey's Pop Garden - big, bold florals - on the back and some little blossoms on the front. I also switched out the buttons and added some vintage rhinestone buttons from my stash.

I love the way it turned out!
