twelve twelve twelve + bleached denim.

what are/were you doing at 12:12 on 12/12/12?
wish i could say i was doing something exciting; it's coming up in about 40 minutes here, so i'll likely be posting this post...or eating lunch...or sitting at my desk working.

i have been living in this exact outfit for the past couple of weekends. no joke. i grabbed this shirt on black friday and was tempted to get all the plaids and flannels since they were half off...but i was sensible. deets on the shorts below.

dip-dye method...mostly bleach with a splash of water.
results below after 30-40 minutes.
spray method for ombre look.
concentrate mostly on the bottom and spray less as you go up.
here's a few after their first wash and dry.
i further distressed them, washed and dried a second time,
and finally added studs.
a few have already been sold, but the rest will be
in the store this week.
(gilly hicks shirt; necklace via oomph (buy))

Great shirt. If you are going to wear one shirt day after day, this is a good choice. Nice necklace, too.

I love wearing plaid and shorts! Favorite holiday loook! Great post on the DIY. I recently bought a dip dyed shorts with studs. Wanted to create one but I guess, I let laziness rule over me.
