diy.

SO I totally jumped on the tie-dye bandwagon. I had been wanting to play around with it for awhile, so a few days ago I took to it.

Thanks for all the inspiration guys.

It was just me and some oh-so-toxic-bleach.
I mildly burnt my hands (i had no gloves)
and did it in the kitchen sink, therefore giving my BF and I bleach headaches.


To be honest it took no more than 8 minutes.
I grabbed a darker pair of old-cut-offs ( i have A LOT) and literally just splattered bleach on them. I kind of just moved it around and did the same with the back.
Left them in the sink overnight.
Threw them in the wash in the morning.

And woot woot.
diy complete.

I will now be searching for a jean dress of sorts to do the same.

I think I've broke my diy barrier.

    haha did the same thing with mine (except I used gloves). Definitely, definitely gave myself the bleach headache/high though, haha. Eventually I had to go clear my head on the freezing cold apartment balcony...go figure :)

    Anyways. BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS of you gorgeous Lisa! The shorts turned out super wonderfully, in my opinion you are TOTALLY the winner of this DIY twin thing!

    Thanks as always for the beautiful and kind words.

    Yes indeedy - digging the denims.

    I have a pair just like them, but I must admit, they are store- bought (To busy to DIY!)

    Though your's are so nice they inspire me to find the time....

    Oh, and a big Yah! to piles of cut offs - why do we keep buying them when we know we already have a pair to suit all occasions????
