Refashion: from cream to orange

This top has been one of my favorite tops for many summers (even though it's missing some beads). The only "but" was the color, it was a bit blah so I dyed it using Rye Tangerine Orange. I should have done this earlier, the beads pop out and I think the top looks way better in orange, but then again orange is my favorite color so I might be a little bit biased. As far as the missing beads, a linen blazer over it will do and no one will ever know, just you but I'm counting on you to keep my secret. ^_-
Shirt: thrifted/ dyed by me
Skirt: Anthropologie
Shoes: DSW /old
Linen Blazer: thrifted/ old

Shey you should do a tutorial on how you dye your clothing. I would like to give it a try so I can turn some of my dull colored skirts into vibrant colors!!

You do such a great job!

Wow! Looks lovely. Have you ever tried natural dyes? I'm thinking of giving it a go...

Shey said...

NW I haven't tried atural dyes, in fact I'm not very familiar with it I will give it a look.
Lyddie you are right, I could replace the beads but I'm too lazy for now, if I see them I will buy them and replace them. =)

¡Me encanta! This outfit screams summer to me, and I love how that top looks in orange - it's so much more fun. I'm a huge fan of orange, too; it works so well with our coloring.
