peace, love & tie dye

if you thought that tie dye was still stuck in the 70′s, you’re wrong. i’m just sayin’…this isn’t your average hippy wear.

this look has been all over the runway, the red carpet and in your favorite stores at the mall lately.

just the other day at Target, I saw an entire shelf of cute, tie dye t-shirts and racks of flowing, tie dye dresses and cover ups.

you can go all out by donning a dress or shirt in a fun and outrageous tie dye pattern, or use this trippy trend as an accessory to any ensemble, as seen below.

so get with the times and go pick up some tie dye gear to add a little splash of color to your spring and summer wardrobe. 

stay groovy kids.

8 ways to wear a white t-shirt

1. not ready to put away your favorite dresses yet? throw one on over a white t-shirt and ta-da! you have an outfit that will work with the changing seasons we are now encountering. pair with leggings or opaque tights.

dress: $22 at forever 21

 

2. not ready to bundle up in a bulky, wool scarf yet? bring out your inner punk and wrap a checkered scarf around your neck to add a little color to your outfit.

scarf: $10 at a stand at warped tour lol

 

3. add a professional flair to a t-shirt in jeans with a button up jacket or blazer. works for casual Fridays at the office or with heels for a night out

blazer: $30 at kohl’s

 

4. if you are short on time and have absolutely nothing to wear, throw on a piece of statement jewelry to add instant style to your white t-shirt.

necklace: $8 at an antique show

 

5. just because winter is around the corner, it doesn’t mean you have to dress in boring shades. let the color live on in the form of brightly colored cardigans!

cardigan: $15 at old navy

 

6. if your not into the checkered scarf look or think it’s totally “out”, try a silk scarf that even your granny would be proud of.

scarf: $6.99 at forever 21

 

7. if you haven’t heard by now, plaid is in. very in. wear open or closed over your t-shirt with some layered necklaces to avoid the “farmer effect”.

shirt: $15 at forever 21

 

8. keep warm this fall with an Amelia Earhart inspired leather bomber jacket. looks great with jeans & uggs for the cool days that are upon us.
