a little style help

To those of you wanting to read something related to Ireland…sorry.  This is solely related to my craft (and vanity?).  I had a white t-shirt that got a rather conspicuous stain on the front and I was trying to come up with a fun way to save the shirt.  So I sewed on a bib front from an old gray shirt that had already been cut into.  The bib is on to stay, as I think it would be really hard to undo the machine stitching without seeing needle marks everywhere.  The buttons could stay or go and the flowers are pinned on – not sewn yet. It doesn’t look finished, but neither Mark or I could quite figure out what it needs.  And here’s where you come in.  Anyone have any brilliant ideas as to what I could add (or subtract) to finish it off?

    You can embroider little yellow dots or flowers where the pinheads are. I like the lines of the pins. I might take off the buttons (or not?) and embroider/stitch some stems diagonally from one flower bunch to the next. That would break the symmetry of the bib. This all, however, might ruin your cute little shirt :) .
