tie dye

It's my favorite pattern.
I recently counted 11 things with tie dyed patterns in my closet: jeans, a dress, a skirt, t-shirts, blouses, and tanks.

My tie dye top was thrifted.
My Guess? pants were thrifted.
My black boots were thrifted.



 I first bleached a pair of jeans in 9th grade.
I wore a tie dye t-shirt in my 10th grade school photo.

My mom gave me my necklace.
My mom made my turquoise bracelet,
and my wooden bracelet.

I remember my friend and I, tie dying our t-shirts,
 and staining her driveway, when were 16.
I was in 11th  grade.

My art journal page from March 24, 2013
My husband was wearing a tie dye t-shirt,
 when I met him. He still has it, and wears it.
Each time, I tease and remind him.

Back in the college, he wore a different tie dye shirt,
  for his driver's license photo.





Born to Run is my brother's and my,
favorite song by 
Bruce Springsteen.
I've been playing it on my guitar for weeks.



"...we can live with the sadness 
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
 
Someday girl I don't know when 
we're gonna get to that place 
Where we really wanna go 
and we'll walk in the sun 
But till then tramps like us 
baby we were born to run"...
Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

  2. I've never tie-dyed anything myself, but I did do the "splashed bleach" to my jeans in high school... I don't think I did such a great job, but I wore the heck out of them then!

  7. oh wow, once again those runway looks are SOOO incredibly gorgeous! just wow wow wow!
    and I like it how your whole look is thrifted. I even noticed similar booties in H&M a while ago ;) so everything comes back when it comes to fashion.

  8. That's so sweet that you remember what your hubby was wearing when you met (and that you both share the same fashion sense!) I love the colours in your top.

  17. I think I've owned one tie-dye item...in my whole life. I think it's because I never got over the whole rainbow of neon colours tie-dye look. However, this post has me rethinking that stance. Thy runway outfit with head-to-toe pastel-hued tie dye actually looks fantastic, and your skirt is a far cry from the 80s. The pants are a great thrift find!
