Day 328: Dark & Stormy Jeans
Today’s refash comes from my own closet! 🙂 I have owned this pair of jeans for 12 years.
Herm.
I never wear these. The fit is great, but I just hate the extremely dated wash (from back when that sort of dingy look was “in”). :/
I don’t know why it never occurred to me that all I needed to do to turn these jeans of last resort into my new faves was a bit of dye! 🙂
Double Trouble! 🙂
You can see I’m using a dark blue mixed with a bit of black. I really want to get these as dark as I possibly can!
I’m dyeing a couple of other things in there as well! 🙂
I left the jeans in their dye bath for about an hour. A thorough rinse and dry followed.
Check ‘em out now! 🙂
Stylin’ with a LBD! 🙂
And just in case some of you wonder if I’m hiding anything under my little black dress…
See? The dye job went flawlessly! 🙂
I felt quite cool in my newly darkened jeans, and even struck a hipster pose! 😉
Dripping with Hipness! 🙂
I wore my new jeans for a fun happy hour at Hunter Gatherer with some fabulous people! 🙂
Hiya! 🙂
Indulging in one of my fave vices! 😉
Cute Couple (and I dig his shorts)! 🙂
GroupFoto!
Pale Ale + Cigars = A Happy Jillian! 🙂
Cheers! 🙂

Really cute! Do have any trouble keeping that dye?? Even store-bought dark jeans have faded and bled into my other clothes. (I learned the hard way that I should separate my whites..)
I haven’t had any troubles with my home-dyed stuff. But I wash all of my clothes in cold water, so I’m sure that helps. 🙂
Cool I will totally be trying this, thanks!
What a difference a dye makes….and I was going to ask about keeping the dye intact, but someone beat me to it! 🙂
Wow! Great suggestion. I’ll have to try that, too.
You´ve been inspiring me to use dye more often, such a great idea!
