I know I said I would post this up on Sunday, but I wanted to share the final results now.
To create this ombre look, it's super simple!
Here are the steps I took...I literally improvised...
You need: Bleach, a big bowl of hot water & somewhere to air dry
1. Make a section of where you would like to bleach
2. Pour bleach onto the area that you selected
(I ended up splashing bleach vs. spraying to get a different effect and to make it look more drastic)
3. Put the bleached section in the hot water and rinse out the bleach
4. Ring out your denim and let it air dry overnight
5. WAHLAHHHH!!!! You should see the drastic effect in the morning, finish the last step by washing your pieces in the washer (BY ITSELF) then dry it in the dryer.
ps: peep out my new white summer shoes :) in loveeeeee

Me too :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!!!
DeleteThe finished results look great! I love it when bloggers actually do something for themselves. I'm a bit confused about the process though- do you put them in a bucket of bleach?

Hey Nadia!!!
DeleteThank you :) And no I didn't put it in a bucket of bleach. It's a bucket of hot water to rinse off the bleach that I splashed on the shirt.
1. Splash or spray bleach
2. Rinse in a bucket of hot water
repeat step one again then rinse optional)
3. Air dry
4. Wash in the washing machine and then throw in the dryer (optional)
Hope that helps :)
