The Ever-Changing Jacket



About this look...
When I told you the DIY story behind this jacket, I mentioned that I may continue altering it. I figured this is a good course of action considering I'm throwing it on top of most of my outfits these days. It's the perfect addition to my spring and summer wardrobe, that's for sure!

I picked up some denim blue RIT dye from the craft store and soaked the still-blue part of the jacket for about fifteen minutes. After thoroughly rinsing and air drying, I ended up with a slightly darker and much more even blue color.






I threw my refreshed jacket over a feminine dress with a tough studded belt. I grabbed my neon pink satchel for a pop or color and rocked my new favorite flat sandals to complete this easy warm-weather ensemble.

As much as I love the jacket right now, I've got to be honest with myself, I'm probably going to keep playing around with the coloring of this jacket. It's just way too fun!

That jacket is looking pretty perfect. I vote you keep it as is, grab another one from a thrift store, and experiment on that one instead :) Whatever you decide to do, I think you're creativity will make it worth it in the end, whether or try something with another jacket or keep experimenting on this one.

Love how this jacket is evolving. You could almost dye the bottom half a different color to give it a whole other look. Just an idea. I really need to get a pair of these flats- they're so cute!
beijos,
Tiffany

How adorable are you with that high pony tail? ;) And, I love that jacket; I'd wear it all the time, too!

Adiel said...

Yay! Thanks, Santina!

It has crossed my mind, that's for sure! I keep praying to find a ton of denim jackets at Goodwill, but it's been weeks and I haven't seen any! You should totally get the flats! They're so cute and come in lots of colors!
