DIY Dip Dye Shorts

I've been seeing these dip dye trend everywhere for a while now and decided to get on this cute trend bandwagon! 

This DIY is a bit time consuming but so worth it :) 

The supplies you will need for this DIY are pretty straight forward. 

I picked up my tie-dye kit at Walmart (they also sell them at Michael's)  for about $15 and it comes with everything you'll need. I bought the full kit knowing I was going to also dye some t-shirts, but if you are just doing the shorts it might be cheaper to buy each dye colour individually, that way you could also customize to colours you want instead of using the ones that come in the kit. I paid $4 for the individual purple one, also at Walmart.  

 I decided to use the colours purple, pink and blue because I wanted to create a gradient effect and I think these three colour go well together. 

The bottles come with the coloured powder and you just need to add water. 

The key for this DIY is to use light coloured shorts so that the colour is at its true and brights colour. 

I found cut the shorts from a pair of highwaisted  Levi's pants that I thrifted for $10 that i cut the legs off. 

 STEP 1: The first thing you want to do it decided the order of which you want to colour to go. I did pink, purple then blue, I felt like the flowed well together in that order. You could add as many colours as you want, I've seen a lot of two toned ones so decided to do three instead.

STEP 2: Next you want to also decided how far you want each colour to reach, if you want them to be all the same thickness or the bottom thicker then the top ones, its up to you :) 

STEP 3: You want to start layering the colours starting from either the top or the bottom. Over apping the colours a bit also adds a nice effect so they blend well together.

Don't forget to do the back side !!

STEP 4: when you're done you want to leave the dye in for 8 hours or over night. In the morning you want to risnse the shorts out with water until it runs clear, and then throw them in the wash by themselves.

you want to wash your shorts separately for the first few washes. 

Thanks to my sister, Nancy for modeling the shorts for me !

Hope you guys in enjoy.

Thorn of a Rose

Top/Dress- H&M (Brandy Melville has a similar top) 

Bralette- Bandy Melville

Velvet Skirt- Thrifted ( similar here )

Platform sandals- Thrifted

Denim jacket- Black Market (thrifted)  

This velvet skirt is my new go-to bottom (as you could probably tell from how much its been featured on the blog).Velvet always adds an interesting aspect to any outfit. Especially paired with this open back dress from H&M. This dress it very versatile, it can be used both as a cotton, casual dress or tucked in to wear as a tank top (its short enough not to be bulky when tucked in). I have been living in this Brandy Melville bralette. The caged back makes it PREFECT to wear with open back tops or even deep armhole muscle tanks. 

These pictures don't really show off the shoes but they are a pair of platform sandals that I thrifted a couple of weeks ago, hopefully in my next posts I remember to stand somewhere where I’m not sinking into the grass. 

Last but certainly not least I had to add a picture of my adorable baby boy Carl <3 His model material don't you think?

This whole outfit was thrifted !

As I promised a few posts ago I was going to show you guys how I wear and style the "dress shirt as a skirt" trend. The day I wore this outfit my dads plaid shirt was in the wash so I wore my other over sized dress shirt instead, I think it turned out pretty well :) Its really easy to wear, all you need is an over sized button down shirt and some creativity!

I am soo in love with these shoes ! I went thrifting with some friends the other day and I picked these up from a shop in Kensington market from only 25$ ! I was ecstatic when I found them cause I was in desperate need of new sneakers, and these were all beaten up and old looking which was an added plus. Your going to be seeing a lot more of these for sure.

I also recently got my new tattoo choker in mail which I order off of Etsy and  haven't taken it off since. It adds a punk rock, 90s element to any outfit you pair it with. and that's where my style seems to be now a days.  

As for the top I thrifted it for 3$ at my local thrift shop, and I regret not finding it early in the year :( It would of been the perfect top to wear with either my disco pants or high- waisted jeans for the colder months. The thick velvet material plus the long sleeves make it hard to wear in the summer months. But I am going to take advantage of the cold mornings and wear it as much as possible cause its such an eclectic and unique piece to have as part of my wardrobe. 

Hope you guys have a lovely day <3
