New life: Swim suit cover

[CPThreads]

So a couple weeks back mom got a phone call from the Y saying that they were picking up old clothes the following Wednesday morning. So I got the stuff out of my trunk that I've been meaning to take to Goodwill and mom and dad drug things out of storage that they don't wear. The night before the Y came, I went through the boxes to find things that I could use {a few shirts, a dress} and I found an old crocheted button down top from the Limited that my mom wore to its death. The original color was white, though some spots had turned yellow or some other stain color from wear. I decided to shrink and dye it so I could wear it as a swim suit cover. {I had a lake vacation planned with my boyfriend and his family [tip: make sure your sunscreen actually works and apply it regularly and evenly when spending a day on a boat, sunburnt knees aren't fun]}

I used Dyson Bahama Blue dye... Sorry too excited for before pictures

Enough talk!

Also, I love your sunglasses. I think i know - but where'd you get them?

[CPThreads]

Thankyou all so much! :]

I shrank it by putting it in hot water for a bit. That pulled all the strings and such together.


My glasses are from Hot Topic, though I hate shopping there.
