bleach denim: magic awaits you!

7/28/2014

I am a huge fan of denim. I like jeans and denim tops and jackets. I read about the companies that solely focus on denim and innovative design in this area.

I own several pairs of jeans and very much enjoy their cut and finish. There was, however, a color (navy blue) pair that I just could not incorporate into my wardrobe. So ... I decided to buy bleach and have some fun! Bleaching clothing is a great way to update the look - to just change the overall feel of the garment or to completely change its look.

For my jeans, as you can see in the photo below, I achieved a rather "painterly" look - it just looks like I spilled some paint on them. Don't let the first sight trick you though! I sketched on paper where the bleach drops would fall so that the final look about we appealing and visually interesting. I also incorporated little treats - there is a "picture" of a dream catcher and petals of a flower. Well, I like when clothes are special so I added these little things only I would know about ... until now ...

If you do a search for bleached denim online, you will come across so many great ideas and designs! I am sharing one design by Alexander McQueen and one by Ralph Lauren. Take a look for yourself and see if bleach could make some magic in your own wardrobe!
