It's another wonderful and hot day today! Did I say hot? No, it's SOOOO HOT! When it's summer here in Manila, you can't wear jeans anymore. That's right! (throw them far, far away where you'll never see them again! Just kidding! Keep them first!) Shorts should be your new uniform everyday since the heat is unbearable!!! So, I have decided to edit my own pair of shorts in a very summery way haha lol! Going out of the stereotypical kind of shorts which are white, black or colored, I've decided to create ombre shorts! Ombre is the gradient effect that's seen in fashion shows and are super in trend right now! From Abbey Lee Kershaw's hair dip dyes to Topshop collections, I'm loving it! (aren't you?) But, since I'm a fan of Tumblr but I don't have my own account, I always see these kinds of shorts and tried to copy them! The brand is Runwaydreamz and they sell amazing shorts with studs and goes with the whole Coachella, I'm-too-cool look! Here they are and below are steps on how to make your own! Hope you try it! It's super fun!

Materials needed! L-R White shorts (Cotton On), Venus Dye in Pink, Studs from Carolina's, and a knife to put them studs! |
Never knew my morning would be so productive today! (who would've thought!)
This project was truly a great unexpected expectation! Try these out!
They're perfect for the summer and it'll go with anything!
(trust me, I've mix and matched them with different tops already!)
So, instead of getting those super over-priced
Runwayydreammzz (so jeje right? haha) make these!
They're super easy and all in all it cost me less than a thousand Pesos!

DeleteThis is a cool project!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :)
DeleteIm just wondering if they fade when washed, and if it matters what brand of dye?? thanks Xx
ReplyDeleteI think you need to wait a while, maybe a week or so to wash it so it won't fade & I don't think the brand matters :)
DeleteLove the idea!!! :) umm i just want to ask where do you find the fabric dye on the venus website?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!!!! :) I'm sorry I don't know where, but I bought mine from national bookstore :)
Deletei have a few questions.. please answer!!
ReplyDeletedoes it matter what brand of dye?
will the dye fade away after the shorts are washed?
does dye (any brand in general) stain a metal pot (for when its boiled and all.) like will you be able to get the dye out with a normal wash in the sink?
where did you bought the venus dye and studs? thank you.
