Bittersweet

Jacket, Dex (swap). Tee, Gap (overdyed by me). Tank, No Boundaries. Skirt, L.E.I. (thrifted). Boots, Playhouse. Necklace, Urban Outfitters. Sunnies, Hawaiian Tropic.

I didn’t like this outfit so much. I think cowboy boots are better paired with a shorter, fuller skirt. But, I wanted to show you the color of this tee. I overdyed it following the Rit instructions for custom creating a mustardy color (Bittersweet). Even accounting for color distortion by my camera and your monitor, you can see the result is orange, not yellow-brown. Lesson: if you’re overdyeing a favorite garment, test the formula on something less critical first.

(It turns out the I LOVE this orange color on the tee, but not on the skirt that accompanied it into the dye bath.)
