Orange is one of my favorite colors to wear during the Summer. I've had this cardigan for a while and although it was already orange it wasn't my favorite shade yet, so I bought some dye and I dyed it a shade darker. I was actually going for a terra cotta shade but the fabric didn't catch the color, I still like the end result. Hope you all have a terrific week!

I love it both ways.
Pero llevas razón que queda mejor con el vestido.

the refreshed cardi is so pretty!
i know you've dyed a bunch of things, do you have any issues with the colorfastness... (that's a word?) anyway whenever i've dyed things they always fade horribly after a few washes!
Chic on the Cheap
Oooh, I really like the result! When I dye clothes it never comes out quite as nice...
Great dress, too, that print is so lovely :)
Thank you all ladies, Lyddie I haven't had any problems with the color fading, but when I wash my dyed clothes I try to do it with a gentle soap like woolite and I also was it with darker colors, on top of that I air dry the clothes instead of drying in the dryer. =)
I love the color of the cardigan. You have such a flair for putting together ladylike ensembles!
It turned out great! I like sunny orange, too! I hope you are enjoying your summer days, Shey!
the brighter orange is much stronger and suits you better! wonderful
You were right to dye it. That deeper color looks amazing on you and I love it with the minty dress. ;) Pretty!
Great colour! I always have a hard time finding orange clothes in the right shade and I never thought of top dying them! I will have to try that out! I love the way it looks with the mint in your dress!
I love the new shade! Just a really vibrant, juicy colour!
I love how it came out and also how you styled it, perfect!
I have some items that are not as bright what clothing dye do you use? And do you use a plastic container to mix as opose to the basin
Luv your blog :+)
I really like the new cardigan color it will be perfect for the fall. That dress is super cute on you.
ps. What color would you consider Lady Danger orange or red?
That red/orange is lovely on you. Such a good decision to dye it!
