I've finally got round to plonking myself in front of a camera as I barely had a spare minute while I was away up north and coming home to the rain, and what a doozie of an outfit. I think it's fair to say that this is a new one for me. I'd seen a few bloggers working the yellow and blue combo and I loved it. They are both colours I have never really worn before, certainly not together. But I'm really loving it. It's so cute.
I bought this dress from Modcloth an age ago as a payday treat. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. The material is heavier than I had anticipated. I wasn't sure about the sleeves on my arms but the more I've worn it the more I've come to like them. It's super comfy and hella cute. This is something you could easily pair with other colours though I feel it needs very little accessorising.

I love the simple detailing on this dress
What I am rather proud about with this outfit is the cardigan. I picked this up from Asda for £8 but I wasn't keen on the colour and I had plans to dye it.
Donning some marigolds I mixed up some Dylon Sunshine Yellow and added some Dylon Dark Brown and mixed until I got the desired colour. What I got was this gorgeous mustard yellow. I was super pleased because it has been a nightmare finding a mustard yellow cardigan in my size. So I went D.I.Y!
It's worth mentioning that the yellow dye was actually a machine dye I purchased in error but washed by hand and it was fine. You wash it in the machine anyway at the end!

I finished the look off with some navy polkadots. The sunnies are Primark from a couple of years ago but these cute ballet pumps I just picked up from Asda for a measly £6! Bargain!
I think my outfit comes Vinnie approved!
I really loved trying out the dyes and I've turned my hand to a couple of other cardigans and some t-shirts for work too. With summer coming I can see myself being bitten by the home colour bug.
It's a perfect way to revamp your wardrobe at little cost!
Do you love a bit of D.I.Y too?
You actually did it yourself? Looks great. Didn't think knit would catch on the colour well but it did, I might try it then =)

DeleteBloody gorgeous outfit.
ReplyDeleteI love dying stuff, it's always exciting to see how it will come out. Your cardie has come out such a good colour, it's a real egg-yolk yellow!
It's super bright in the sun but a perfect mustard colour. Well chuffed!

DeleteYou ADORABLE little button! It's such a rollercoaster of emotions when you get something online and it's not what you were expecting, but then it ends up growing on you anyways. Yay life! <3
ReplyDeleteEspecially when it's coming from places like Modcloth!
