Dabbling in Tie Dye
A couple of weeks ago I created a few imaginary outfits because I was craving some printed pants (see the rest here). One of them being tie dye…
My “fondest” memory of tie dye was in 2nd grade at summer camp when I made my dad a tie dye shirt that said, “World’s Best Daddy.” The only problem was I ended up looking like the shirt…and for days my ma was fussing & washing paint out of my hair. For that reason, I ended up fearing anything tie dye for a while.

I figured what better way to overcome the trauma then to wear it, but I just didn’t have the courage at the time. Soon enough they were out. When I saw that prints were back this season, I decided to give these pants another try!
Since printed bottoms has a character all on it’s own, I thought it would be best to keep everything else simple. Paired with a gray tank, solid blazer, black pumps and very minimal jewelry created a sophisticated look which I liked a lot.
I’m really glad I tried a look I wouldn’t normally wear because it gave me a chance to step outside of my comfort zone and experience something new, well, in my case something less messy. Next time I want to try an over-sized white tee with nude pumps to give it a more spring feel. Hopefully, it won’t be another 2 years :).

Oh, I LOVE those shoes + that blazer. Not to mention your bright nail polish and pretty red lips. You look fabulous + sophisticated!
I didn’t realize how elegant tie-dye could be, the color palette of this outfit is just so gorgeous and well put together… Especially how the back of your loubs match your lippie!

Your rock those jeggings doll! I was actually looking for some like yours last week but haven’t had any luck at Forever :( If you decide to sell them, please let me know!
I love how you turned these pants into something classy. I love the basics pairing that you did, I now want to try it out too! Also, love your hair and those waves as usual!
I normally don’t like tie dye, but you’re totally inspiring me to try it out with your look. I love how you kept everything else basic and black tie dye could probably be easier for me than the colorful ones. Things I’m afraid to wear? I’m still trying to get enough guts to wear the printed pants (floral, etc) that’s so on trend right now. Well, anyway, great look again! Love your style!
I never liked tie dye but these look great on you! I like how the blazer and the solid colors makes the outfit look sophisticated like you said. Lovely CL pumps and bag!
