DIY :: Dip Dye Jeans
Recently, I had the privilege of getting to do a fashion DIY post for Kmart. Now, you might be as skeptical as I was at first when trying to decide if the words 'fashion' and 'Kmart' went together cohesively. But let me tell you, they do! It was hard to narrow down exactly what I wanted between a gorgeous cream lace maxi dress, an oversized black blazer and the form-fitting-in-all-the-right-places white skinnies by Sofia Vergara. There were so many chic choices. But, in case you were worried, I did make a decision. And you, my friend, can see the results below.
Dip dye is the new tie dye. You heard it here first people. But really, what do you think of the dip dye trend? Are you into it or think it will pass with the season like hair chalk and crop tops?
I'm a fan of any fabric dying. Honestly, when done right, it really infuses new life into an otherwise seemingly boring piece of clothing you once used to covet, but just lost that loving feeling for. Do consider it next time before just throwing out a piece of clothing cause you're bored with it's color or style. It's cheap and simple! To read the full step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own pair of these dreamy dyed jeans..... head on over to Kmart's blog and get your dip dyeing on!
And congrats to the lovely Lindsey on winning the Good Season necklace!

Get it gurl
I'm diggin the top! Where is that piece from?
Danielle - I'll let you in a secret.... it's from Goodwill in Texas! It was a whole $3.50! I love the style and you can find the same cut shirt in almost every color at most thrift stores. Since finding this one, I've gone to other Goodwill's in TN and TX and found one in black and another in teal and wear them ALL the time. Think they used to be undershirts for women's pantsuits in the eighties or something! Pretty proud of my find!

THANK YOU JORDAN!!!!
Looks awesome! Good Job Amy! :-)
Crafty AND thrifty. You are awesome!
Oh my goodness... I think I'm in love. I need to find myself a pair of white jeans to try this on!
love these and how you styled the outfit! i saw a pair recently where someone dyed from the waist down, which was awesome b/c the dark to light ombre created a really slimming effect. i need to try this!
Thanks for this...I have the perfect pair of pants to try this on!
These are so original and cool! Definitely a fun look for the end of summer!
Rita - I've seen those too! I was a little nervous they wouldn't create a 'slimming' effect on me and so I went with the bottom up look hoping it wouldn't do a 'shortening' effect! Either way, i decided "who cares", I loved the look of the dyed jeans, so I went for it!
Glad you like them!

This is so creative! I would love to do this, but with pink dye. :)
This is an awesome DIY. I love dip dye and never would have thought to just do it myself.
Love your blog! So happy to find another "Brooklyn" blogger!
