5 Tie-Dye Decisions: Hippie Yay? Hippie Nay?

By Meream • Apr 16, 2010

1. Proenza Schouler Tie-Dye Tank

Nay for the original, of course. Because who spends $275 on a tank top you can DIY? But yay for the look for less, of course.

2. Tie-Dye Prom Dress

Hmm... This is tough. If the theme is summer-y or the event is held during the day, I guess this could work. What do you think, ladies?

3. Tie-Dye Summer Dresses for under $50 Each

A big whopping yay from me, of course! The pink one is very cute. And if I do buy a maxi dress soon (can you believe I don't have one?), I'll probably go for a blue tie-dye dress like the one shown here.

4. Tie-Dye Yellow Scarf

In this shade of sunshiny yellow? I say YAY. Doesn't it look nice with a blue-gray outfit?

5. Tie-Dye Trend

Are you generally opposed? Or do you like this print? I admit that I used to hate tie dyes but they have grown on me. They looked great on the runway.

I love the hippie style but I simply cannot get into tie-dye. There's something about it that I dislike. I'm still waiting for a fabulous piece to change my mind!! :)

I'm with Cafe Fashionista. Also, I am not that fond of tie-dye because it reminds me of a disaster school project. I guess I could do a tie dye scarf or something like that.
