Ok, am I having total flashbacks to my 80's childhood or is tie dye coming back from the, um, dead?
Pun intended. I couldn't resist.
Various reliable trend-watchy sources said months ago that lovely tie dye would be making itself quite the comeback this summer.
Designers like Tory Burch and Proenza Schouler featured tie dye items in their spring/summer 2010 collections and fashion critics responded favorably.
Here are some tips on wearing "the print" of summer:
-Avoid the full-on rainbow effect. Choose pieces with only one to three colors.
-Wear only one tie dye item at a time. More than that could cause serious eye damage to innocent bystanders.
-A tie dye maxi dress? No ma'am.
-Look for interesting detailing and tailoring along with cool, modern shapes to keep this trend looking more current and less Grateful Dead.
I'm so game to try a tie dye accessory or two. What do you think? Will you give this trend a go or sit it out? Speak to me, ladies.
Be blessed, lovelies-
I could possibly rock tie dye if it were only 1 color or muted like that last photo of the dress.
ReplyDeletethe purse is cute; other than that, i'll be sitting this one out.
ReplyDeleteI'm okay with one color tie dye. I remember making tie dye shirts in elementary school science class! haha! not sure what it had to do with science! haha!
ReplyDeleteI just cannot get into the idea of wearing tie dye, again.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Loved it as a kid and ready for it to be back again!! I think it's just fun...
ReplyDeletehmm not sure how I feel about the tie dye trend.... but some of these things are cute! I think it would have to be subtle for me to wear it.
ReplyDeleteI saw some cute blue tie dye sperry's, but not sure how much I'd actually wear them...
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think I may even go for the maxi dress, I saw a really cute one at Forever 21 the other day. And it was pretty simple - def not over the top! L-O-V-E it for a scarf. xxSAS
ReplyDeleteI'm not into the tie dye thing, so I'll probably be sitting this trend out!
