I bought it when I was in Hawaii last year. Yes, it was one of those 'I am on vacation' purchases. In the store, maybe under the influence of a lunch time cocktail or two, and thinking I found a wonderful item I could wear at home. Well, then I came back to real life and it did not quite work like I imagined. The top is a beautiful silk with a hand painted Hawaiian print, originally black and white, pic # 3. After the big fail last year I gave up trying to make it work. During the winter after going through my closet, I decided to dye it. I went to the Rit site and found <a href="https://www.ritstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Rit_FavoriteColors_2000_FINAL.pdf" rel="nofollow">this color formula </a>chart, bought my colors, then used the stove top technique.&nbsp;&nbsp;The result is what I am wearing today. I like it so much better. It is cool and comfortable for the heat and can see wearing it in the fall with skinnies and a long sleeved tee. So, please give me your honest opinion. </p>
