Dip Dyed

May 24th, 2012

Ray-Ban Aviators, Urban Outfitters Shirt, Pinko Necklace, Revlon ‘Orange Flip’ Lipstick, Zara Skirt, Dannijo Cuff, Bracelet by my mom, Kate Spade Case, Alexander McQueen Key Chain, Miu Miu Heels

I was a certifiable tomboy growing up…as in people often mistook me (underneath my backwards baseball cap) for a boy. My style has certainly evolved since then – I’ve always been drawn to slightly androgynous looks, but now just with a few feminine touches (like a sparkly necklace peeking out from underneath a chambray collar and peep toe bow heels). But my love of going to baseball games, playing pool, and cheap beer will probably never change.

    Love the dip-dye effect, the whole look is definitely casual chic.

    This is a great top! As much as we’ve all been loving chambray button ups and denim tops this season, it would be nice to find one that stands out from the crowd. A half and half top like the one you’re wearing definitely accomplishes that!

    This is a great shirt! I don’t usually see denim shirts that I think are cute but this one is just fitted enough, so that it still looks feminine. Did you dye it yourself, or buy it? Either way, I love it!

    I also wanted to let you know about a great giveaway from Shabby Apple that I’m hosting right now! Hope you enter!

    I had really short hair in high school and got mistaken for a boy a LOT! It actually surprised me how often I was mistaken for a boy.
    I love the way your necklace just peaks out from the collar. Such an unexpected touch!

    At first I didn’t like the shirt, but I keep looking at it and it’s growing on me. The fade-out is actually really nice!

    Love your outfit, but why are you attributing going to baseball games, playing pool and cheap beer to men or tomboys? I love all those things and I’ve never been a tomboy. I’d like to think we like those things because of our personal preferences, not because they’re attributed to a certain gender.

    I bought Orange Flip this past week and love it!

  • Maria

    Usually I’m not a huge fan of dip-dye but these two colours work so well!

    I love how that sparkly collar just peeks out from underneath. Beautifully understated.

    That second photo is gorgeous, but that skirt is waaaay too short. Makes your thighs look bigger than they are. :(

    your mom’s jewelry is great, so edgy and classic at the same time. any chance she sells her pieces?

    Love this look on you

  • Jane

    Wow, it’s been awhile since I came here for the last time and I am surprised to see how Emily is even prettier! And it feels like she’s been working out – her legs are a bit more strong and her body is definitely more curvy! She’s beautiful! Great outfit but what took my attention was really this chance on her figure, for the very best, of course!
    Kisses for Emily!

    Love this …. and can’t help but wonder if it would be easy to DIY with some bleach. Thanks for the idea!
