Recut and restyled: Snakeskin bubble dress

Today I was going through some of my old clothes that I haven’t worn in years, and I came across this dress, which I actually don’t think I’ve ever worn out.

I bought it over 2 years ago and although I like the print and the shape of the top of the dress, the skirt part is really not my style. The tight band along the bottom hem of the skirt makes it restrictive and uncomfortable.

Somehow this dress has survived multiple wardrobe culls over the years, but today - with a few snips and a bit of creativity - I managed to breathe new life into this piece.

Dip Dye DIY:

Moisten shoes, prepare dye in stainless steel sink, according to package instructions.
Dunk half of shoes into the dye, hung over the faucet.
Fall asleep for three hours. (This step is optional)
Remove from dye and allow to dry overnight. (I cheated and put mine on the heater.)(Kids, maybe don’t try this at home.)

Pink ombré Nylites = ready for spring!

Super easy to do!

this is a blog about style. i prefer the term style because i don't necessarily follow "fashion" or "trends". i appreciate those things, but i prefer to explore real-world style, what people wear in their daily lives (hence the tagline "keepin' it real"), where they shop, but also, from time to time, what's going on in the world of high fashion, and other aspects of fashion design.

i'll also be trying to cover more menswear, as well as hair and makeup, once i learn more about it!
