Bad-Girl Scout Jacket
The idea for a Bad-Girl Scout Jacket came after I started searching the internet for additional patches to finish my Good-Girl Scout Jacket. I stumbled onto LukeDrozd on Etsy and fell in love with the “Alternative Scouting for Boys & Girls Merit Badges” that I found there. The skills they represented, like cult leader, soothsayer, informant, bribery, and espionage, were more than I could resist. I immediately placed an order, and my excitement prompted me to search for the perfect coat to apply them. I knew that the traditional trench coat with its storm flap on the front and deep vented yoke on the back would be ideal for displaying all the fun merit badges and patches I purchased on Etsy. I eventually found this jacket at Bershka.com. In addition to all the crazy patches, I accessorized with a magic mushroom pin made from a Yellow Owl Workshop DIY Pin & Flair kit, a custom button from my favorite young artist @xoxoanniedepressant, and a tack pin from the local blood bank.
