I think I missed seeing the whiskering the first time around. Thanks for showing the original pic.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362625 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 22:53:30 +0000 Brooklyn 2362625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol, you are right about overdyeing. These are the jeans before dyeing. I still have a pair in the original colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362624 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 22:49:24 +0000 Brooklyn 2362624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks slim cat. I was hoping you would do that. Those jeans are very similar! So naturally I love them :)</p> <p>Thanks FC and Carol. I was surprised at how much I liked the tunic look too. I thought it looked modern and interesting because of the combination of oversized elements. </p> <p>Thanks Bonnie. The city was a sea of black, grey and beige, so I think I made my statement. I only saw one other person wearing non-neutral colours the whole time I was there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362596 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 15:57:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2362596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans are amazing, Brooklyn! They look sooo good on you. I love the first outfit with the cognac blazer and bag--this palette is gorgeous on you, and the proportions are terrific. I'm also surprised to see how much I love the tunic version. Fantastic! And the charcoal tweed blazer is a super fab look with them too. You can't go wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362584 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 14:28:31 +0000 Carol 2362584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Overdyeing...so, dyeing a color over regular, faded blue jeans? That's what it looks like. I have not tried that, but it's a cool idea. I love your jeans, and it's like totally getting a new pair.</p> <p>Though the tunic is an older item, I find this to be the freshest look. I see a lot of lopey, slinky volume around lately, and this fits the bill.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362581 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 14:15:11 +0000 Bonnie 2362581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the way you made those jeans over in your colors. They look great with every top. Subversive Corporate is a wonderful moniker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362576 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 13:45:26 +0000 slim cat 2362576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry the link is not working properly.

I am very flattered.</p> <p>Cee :)</p> <p>Suz, I love those cargo pants. I actually have a pair of very light blue cargo jeans that I might overdye. Just gotta settle on the colour…</p> <p>Joy, I use the washing machine. For jeans it’s particularly easy. They are very robust so you can leave them in for a long time. </p> <p>Roberta, I like RL, so I like that comparison. </p> <p>Slim cat, I couldn’t see the jeans (the link takes me to the Australian site), but I hope they are fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362533 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 01:26:51 +0000 Jaime 2362533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous as ever Brooklyn. I love how you have such clear visions and actualize them. I am more a take the crayons left on the table and see what I can draw - you melt them together and form new colors. Hats off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362531 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 01:04:00 +0000 Cee 2362531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brooklyn, that's many dropped microphones, by Coco ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362524 Wed, 12 Jun 2024 00:22:28 +0000 Anonymous 2362524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looking jeans. I may have to try dying jeans as I can not find colors in small sizes of jeans. I have not tried it yet. Do you dye yours in a special pot on the stove, or in the washing machine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362519 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 21:33:21 +0000 Sal 2362519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good Brooklyn and I am pleased you are expanding the favourite section of your wardrobe.....it's fun when a piece makes you so happy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362507 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 17:57:23 +0000 Star (Lise) 2362507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans are amazing and I LOVE all these outfits.&nbsp; I remember there being similar colour jeans in the 80's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362501 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 16:52:44 +0000 Suz 2362501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans look amazing, and how great that you have given then a second (and probably even longer) life in your closet! I love that colour for you -- the perfect burgundy patina palette! My favourite outfit is the one with the shorter jacket, but that is personal preference coming through, because the other outfit is also great. I especially like the contrast of sharp oversized blazer with the slouchy jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have never been brave enough to dye anything beyond tie-dye experiments years ago. But I'm always intrigued and awed by your experiments and I think if it were more difficult to find colours that I like and work for me, I might be tempted -- if we had even more years of nothing but earth tones, for example, I'd probably try to buy stuff in white and dye it to a colour I wanted. I am not sure, though, since I think it takes some expertise, which you clearly have!&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway. Those jeans are a patina version of my cargo pants, which are favourites of mine. So I get the appeal!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362496 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 16:02:05 +0000 slim cat 2362496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! Love all the versions with the last one as a favorite ( charcoal grey with burgundy/red/black is amazing contrast of colors and textures ) .&nbsp;<br />I was never brave enough to change a color of the clothes but I was tempted to buy the sale jeans from UO that reminded me of yours<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shop/bdg-logan-buckle-essential-baggy-boyfriend-jean?category=womens-jeans-sale&amp;color=060&amp;type=REGULAR&amp;quantity=1">https://www.urbanoutfitters.co.....ory=womens</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362494 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 15:17:25 +0000 pirouette 2362494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jeans are great really different and unique. My favourite is with the short jacket and boots. Great colours on you especially with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362491 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 15:01:29 +0000 Roberta 2362491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good! You have that Ralph Lauren look with a slightly subversive (and personal to you) twist.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362490 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 14:39:17 +0000 Mirjana 2362490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Extraordinary look, full stop!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362483 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 13:42:02 +0000 Angie 2362483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woooohoooo!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have been WAITING to see these jeans! (And please feel free to continue the Favourites Challenge. No deadlines )</p> <p>Pics #1 and #2 with the shrunken blazer:</p> <p>KILLER to the Power of KILLER</p> <p>LOVE THAT LOOK!!!&nbsp;</p> <p>The earth tones with your complexion, the cheeky cropped length of the blazer, and the yummy berry tones for Autumn - are all spectacular!!! One of my all-time <b>Brooklyn </b>faves!!! :)</p> <p>The jumper and long blazer looks are wonderful too! #3 and #4 are fab relaxed options! Great with a long coat. And long blazers are on trend. You wear the look well.</p> <p>You had me with the short jacket though! Personal bias and my best ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362480 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 12:05:44 +0000 RobinF 2362480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those jeans are fabulous! I love the look with the jacket but I also like them with the tunic! Surprise! Pays to try everything for sure.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362479 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 12:05:38 +0000 Dee 2362479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh super cool jeans, such a bold statement piece, you wear them so well. Love the subversive corporate pairing especially, I agree that baggy bottoms seem best with fitted toppers. Haha, no dyeing experimentations with me, I’m too chicken. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362478 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 11:58:06 +0000 April 2362478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am timid about dyeing anything, Brooklyn, but all your outfits look great to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wildest-dreams-ah-ah-ha#post-2362469 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 10:44:52 +0000 Brooklyn 2362469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the favourites challenge on account of having a very busy May. But if I could have participated I would have posted about my overdyed red jeans, which have gone straight to the favourites section of my wardrobe (admittedly this is a large section).</p> <p>These are the jeans that inspired my word for the year: wild. They are baggy jeans with lots of patina and some distressing. They were perfect for overdyeing because the patina produces a mix of colours. The colours came out in a dark red/burgundy/black graduation. </p> <p>For their first wear in their new colour I wore them to the city to have lunch with a friend from the days when I worked in an office (pics 1-2). I was going for a subversive corporate look. I wore my very old shrunken blazer that I used to wear in my office days. It has moto accents and a chevron pattern on the back. So it is a bit of a surprise package, like the jeans. (I have changed the buttons since the Finds photo.) Sling bag, ribbed merino jumper and stompy boots to complete. </p> <p>As the jeans are baggy, I think they pair well with fitted tops and jackets. But when I got home I tried it with a long oversized tunic jumper from my skinny jeans days (pics 3-4). I liked this silhouette too and could see myself throwing over a coat or oversized jacket for outdoor wear (pic 5). </p> <p>Love these jeans so much! Lots of fun ahead :)</p> <p>What do you think? Has anyone else tried overdyeing their jeans? How did it go? </p>
