Quick Sunday Project-Dip Bleach Dye

Hello everyone I hope you all had a good weekend.  And to all the mothers out there, happy mother's day.

This is a quick little post that kind of has something to do with my bleaching obsession.  I haven't used a colored shirt yet to try dip dyeing yet.  I actually bought a shirt from the thrift store today to try and dip dye, but I failed miserably haha.  Don't use a shirt that's 100% cotton to dip dye if it isn't black.  It's all about trial and error, who needs google?!  So after realizing I wasn't getting anywhere, I decided to dip dye a black blouse of mine.  All you need is a bucket, bleach, and a shirt(obviously)



After you dunk your shirt into the bleach, let it sit and wait until you're pleased at how much the color has changed.  Here's my finished shirt.




The only thing I would change is having the bleach hit the shirt a little lower, like under the pocket.  Other than that, I'm pretty pleased!

Happy Sunday.

DIY-Fancy Boots

I love me a good DIY project.  If you picked up the newest issue of NYLON magazine, then you would be very excited about their little DIY article, it's pretty bad ass.

PLEASE CLICK TO ENLARGE ON ALL PICS! :)


The only thing I skipped on with the materials list is the brilo pad & leather cleaner.  Here's what I did in picture form!

(I went to my local thrift store & grabbed a bunch of chain belts)
(prep)









This was a pretty easy project, the only trouble was trying to figure out when enough was enough.  Got to work on self control!  Pick up your newest NYLON magazine & try it out!  What DIY projects have you been working on?
