Raiding My Sister's Closet: The Mini Makeover

I have been wanting to do a mini-makeover on this sweater for several months, and it was fun to have an excuse to make it happen.  I saw this photo from Anthropologie sometime earlier this year and thought it was such a cool idea for an old sweater.  I wanted to use a colored sweater, but I also didn't want to pay for something that I might wreck, and this sweater was free from a clothing swap that I hosted a few months ago.  So, I decided to dip dye it in bleach.  I had to use A LOT of bleach, but after a good long time sitting in a bleach filled sink, the black really lightened up nicely!  I may or may not be slightly obsessed with my handiwork.
