Look of the Day: Fall Tie Dye

By Catiebeatty @catiebeatty
It's amazing how one little spelling error can affect your entire concept of something. For instance, tie dye. I have been spelling it "tye dye" for years. Thanks to Google, though, that spelling error has been remedied and I've created new pathways in my brain! It's named after the process! I finally get it. I am a bloody genius #NotAGenius.

Here are some tips for wearing tie dye:
1. Avoid multi-colored tie dyes and go for neutral and monochromatic palettes
2. Pair with crisp menswear pieces for a perfectly juxtaposed outfit
3. Use it when pattern mixing! The organic randomness pairs nicely with strict stripes or preppy polka dots
I'm not sure why, but these sunglasses are up for grabs on my Etsy shop. They're super cool. It's hard to part with them. They're American Optical, from the 1960's, and feature heavy-duty hardware, flexi fit temples and a classic Wayfarer shape. Go buy them before I decide to keep them!
