Chili burger & Rit dye

Wore this to grab a bite at burger. for the first time. While I decided to save the burger-between-grilled-cheese-sandwich-buns for another time, I thoroughly enjoyed the chili burger and a horchata milkshake for desert, and didn't spill more than one tiny drop of chili on myself!. Not normally being a big meat/burger person, this place really peaked my interest. Plus, they have a lovely red wall in their parking lot.

One little packet of Rit fabric dye and some hot water, and I was following in the footsteps of greats like New Dress A Day. I rarely wore this short, filmy white dress I picked up at Crossroads Trading Co. I liked the bib detail, but wasn't sure what the white blotchy pattern was supposed to be—camo? paisley? Thanks to the dye, I discovered that the fabric had beautiful roses on it. So much happier with it now. I know Pearl Grey is a pretty safe color to start with, so back to Beverly's today for bolder ideas!  

Check out the sign I found last weekend at the surplus store; take that, Cost Plus! 

The cherry blossoms were pillaged from First Alarm's front lawn.

The whole process was surprisingly simple, quick, and produced delightful results!
