What a great idea. The jeans look really good. I would never have guessed you had dyed them. They are a great relaxed shape and I just LOVE that stripey top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412945 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:59:14 +0000 sarah 412945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great idea! I love it when clothes are cleverly reconstituted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412923 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:03:19 +0000 Angie 412923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very clever and well done!

Hooray for them being worn a lot more now (Still loving that stripey top, so cool!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412892 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:44:51 +0000 Inge 412892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! That's a great shade of blue. I love them with the top and the red shoes and that sweet necklace!</p> <p>Amazing isn't it, just by dyeing an item, you get a complete new feel and look! Yay for wearing them all the time now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412779 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:21:01 +0000 morethanbeige 412779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Chuckle* Do they have a symbol associated with them too? You did a great job! Congrats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412766 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:00:30 +0000 Freckles 412766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You killed it. The new colour looks so much more you.</p> <p>Totally adore your rescue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412727 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 17:09:54 +0000 Lynne 412727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, I think its important to have a high cotton or natural fibre content - these were 85% cotton, and I used Dylon dye. It is super easy, it is a powder that you put into the machine with 500g of a special salt (sold together, usually), and then pop the damp clothes in and put through on a 40 degree C wash. It really couldn't have been easier. I used navy blue for these, and just to be safe the next wash load I ran was a black and darks load.</p> <p>Rae, high five, team dye! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412721 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 17:04:49 +0000 rae 412721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice! High five for Team Dye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412704 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:50:02 +0000 ironkurtin 412704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of pants with the same issue - what dye and color did you use? From the pic, you seriously cannot tell those were dyed. Props! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412700 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:46:33 +0000 Lynne 412700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Heleen, Sarah, and Jonesy, thanks for looking. I am using these a lot now; they used to hang in the cupboard waiting to be worn.</p> <p>Rute and Lisa, glad you like the necklace :). It jingles quietly when I move, which I love. It's a happy wardrobe item :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412674 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 16:16:27 +0000 rute 412674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look!

Fun new necklace! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412626 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:06:50 +0000 Jonesy 412626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awesome! Love the new color and the styling with the loose top and red flats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412605 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:37:39 +0000 MNsara 412605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that new color! Personally, I am so much more comfortable in darker bottoms. It's fun to try lighter colors, but when they're not working the dyeing is a brilliant move </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412597 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:30:33 +0000 HeleenH 412597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is such an improvement! Hope you get lots of wear out of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-jeans-formerly-known-as-difficult-to-style#post-412593 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:26:19 +0000 Lynne 412593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...are now highly usable! Thanks all for your suggestions with my grey trouser jeans (see pic, below). I decided to start by dyeing them, and voila! I now have a summer weight pair of jeans in a mid-blue wash to wear with flats. Thanks all for your help :). bonus pic of new necklace, Dolly by Dixie. </p>
