I'm so obsessed with my jacket that I wore it twice this week. That's right. I wore a jacket in 90 degree weather, whatever. I've just started to pack for my Florida trip which is this monday! Excited beyond words to be getting out of here for a while.

DIY: Ombre Jacket

Recently, I've gone through a fashion revelation and decided to clean out my entire closet of the clothes I never wear. I found this denim jacket that i've had since middle school and it seemed to much of a waste to throw away. I've seen a lot of the ombre trend for the summer, especially, the denim. I love the trend (obviously, my hair is ombre) but would never shell out 60 bucks for something so trendy. Upon finding my denim jacket, I thought, why not make my own? and the best part? It didn't cost me a penny, literally! All the materials are household items. Don't have any denim you want to dipdye? Go hit up a local thrift store!

What you'll need: 

Gloves, bleach of any kind, a bucket of some sort and of course, any type of denim/chambray item you wish to ombre.

Step 1. is to go to an open area and put on the gloves

Step 2. Pour a good amount of bleach into the bucket

Step 3. Insert your article of choice into the bleach up to desired amount

I decided to stop a little before the halfway mark. Although a lot of people don't do their sleeves, I thought it would be a cool effect, so, I dipped them as well.

Step 4. Leave in for a couple hours and check periodically

Step 5. Rinse in cold water to rinse and stop the bleach

Step 6. Throw it in the dryer and voila

The past weekend, I went out for my friends "first anniversary of her 21st"; Although, she still refuses to believe she's past the 21 milestone. We went out to this cute, little, authentic, italian place and throughly enjoyed the food. After contemplating what to wear, I decided to start a tradition each year where I restyle my maxi-skirt in different ways. I paired my black maxi with a bright neon top and some simple sandals that still pop. Let me just say, I am completely in love with these ninewest sandals. They come in such great colors and... they're on sale!
