I have several sizes of Sharpies, but couldn’t get into some of the tight spaces. I’m also wondering if some clear nail polish might protect the pull. I don’t want it to be too shiny though.<br /> Sara, thank you.<br /> Joy, thank you.<br /> Rachy, thank you. I did go over the teeth of the zipper as much as possible. That’s how I got ink all over my fingers, by pulling away the leather from the zipper. If I were to do it again, I might use painter’s tape and wear gloves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1879162 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 23:54:23 +0000 rachylou 1879162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant hack. Did you have to take the sharpie to the whole zipper or just the pull? (I’m eyeing my own gold zipper here...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1879060 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 20:43:37 +0000 Anonymous 1879060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just beautiful and great Sharpie hack. Does your blue velvet tee work with the blue of the jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1879055 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 20:30:00 +0000 Sara L. 1879055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!&nbsp; I really like the necklace too.&nbsp; All the blues in one outfit is a fun look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1879052 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 20:21:51 +0000 karen13 1879052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have many colors of alcohol ink, primarily Ranger/Tim Holtz (available at Joann and on line) and some by Piñata. Try applying with a q-tip. If you want to test them, I can drop them by next time I'm in your area. There are also some great metallic pens I have used to change the color of earrings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878987 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 16:01:39 +0000 JAileen 1878987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kathie, thank you. I loved the jacket but didn’t realize how bright the zipper actually was.<br /> Torontogirl, thank you.<br /> Angie, thank you. My husband is a dear.<br /> LaP, thank you. I’ve also used a Sharpie on shoes.<br /> Lisa, thank you. I didn’t wear the jacket right after using the Sharpie. I let it dry. It’s pretty permanent, but will need touchups.<br /> Karen, thank you. What’s the product you used? I could have used gloves, because my fingers had black on them, but once it dried it’s pretty permanent.<br /> Kelly, thank you.<br /> Christina, thank you. It will need touchups from time to time.<br /> Kkards, thank you. I love blue, too.<br /> Emily, thank you. I wouldn’t have minded so much if it had been silver, but the gold was really in your face.<br /> Katerina, thank you.<br /> Windchime, thank you.<br /> Brooklyn, thank you.<br /> The Cat, thank you.<br /> Mainelady, thank you.<br /> Shevia, thank you. I guess I had nothing to lose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878875 Mon, 15 Jan 2018 03:28:50 +0000 Jaime 1878875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how you realized that the gold zipper was stopping you and took action!

Much cooler than the bright gold. The cobalt is beautiful, especially paired with that necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878783 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 22:37:20 +0000 kellygirl 1878783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So polished!

That cobalt looks great with the navy. And the necklace is a great finishing touch. </p> <p>What a difference toning down the zipper makes. Sharpies are awesome. Worn belts, the wrong color hardware.... I actually have some alcohol inks (like bottles of liquid sharpie) that come in metallics that I’ve been thinking about changing some bag hardware and earrings with. Just be careful, because it may come off a non porous surface like metal, on to fabric. Maybe give it a wipe with a Kleenex before you put it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878744 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 21:39:40 +0000 Anonymous 1878744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely outfit ! And the sharpie didn't rub off onto anything ? This is quite genius.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878741 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 21:37:45 +0000 LaPed 1878741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cobalt sweater is fabulous, love it with the necklace!</p> <p>I love a good Sharpie hack -- I've recently covered up bleach stains on a pair of DH's trousers using one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878734 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 21:17:45 +0000 Angie 1878734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH. Great sharpie-hack. Nicely done, you look fab, and hubs did a super job with your necklace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878727 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 21:00:11 +0000 Helena 1878727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very classy, polished look. What a beautiful necklace! Great tip about the zipper - is there anything a sharpie can't accomplish?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878726 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 20:58:52 +0000 Kathie 1878726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all the tonal blues together. The jacket is gorgeous- wonderful that you figured out a hack for the zipper, because it deserves to be worn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-lot-of-blue-and-a-hack#post-1878722 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 20:44:00 +0000 JAileen 1878722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore this outfit to church today. I wore nearly the same thing last night to our community theater. The only difference was last night I wore a warmer coat. Dark wash jeans, blue cashmere sweater, navy Cole Haan leather jacket, navy suede booties, Sak guitar strap bag, and new necklace my husband gave me for our anniversary. </p> <p>The hack? The jacket came with a very bright gold zipper that I didn't like. So I took a sharpie to it. It will need regular maintenance, but I already like wearing the jacket better.</p> <p>All comments welcome. </p>
