as many bloggers out there are sporting ombre’d shorts and trying the technique at home it wasn’t hard to find tutorials explaining the process. i found that many ladies were just dipping them into the bleach then trying to give a fade manually. going back to my days of tie-dying i thought using rubberbands would give a nice fade effect and as it turns out..it does!

it was quite easy, read about it on CommonCreativ in further detail!

sidenote: on CC i used orange dye around the top of the ones shown above, later i rebleached…dyed them a denim color and then redyed. i just wasn’t TOTALLY in love with the yellowish look and therefore kept changing it up until i got it exactly how i wanted and now i have a “new” pair of shorts i love!

don’t be afraid to experiment, you never know.. one step could take you to another step which could lead to a delightfully wild outcome!

two new pieces here:
the shorts i picked up at UO recently when on a search for comfy bottoms, and what a success-the print is everything this mix-n-matching girl could ask for! also the picnic basket that doubles as a cooler is new and it’s already come in handy with this weekend’s Alabama road trip!
other outfit details: top: Urban Renewal, sunnies: vintage, hat: H&M, sandals: (very old) UO
officially feeling like its Summer with 100 degree temperatures, bbqs, fireworks and lake floatage-
Happy 4th of July!
