I may be dating myself here but do you remember back in the day when for a Summer project you would get a big ole bucket, some rubber bands, white shirts and make super creative tie-dye shirts? Then when they dried you would add that side knot to actually add style to that mens hanes shirt, layer up some colorful socks and add a scrunchy…..your outfit was complete. I was still a little bit on the younger end of that trend but I used to idolize and try to emulate my sister for that look. I totally rocked a side pony…..there I said it.
I was a little hesitant when I saw tie-dye making a comeback last Summer and it’s definitely here to stay for this one. However, I love how subtle the patterns are this year and with the different color schemes. I have worn this romper so many different ways, with black pumps, gladiator sandals, tights and heels or with nude heels for the ultimate elongated leg. The long sleeves counteracts the sexiness of the short shorts.

Love this romper! I am from the land of the hippies so I am all about the tie dye look!
Absolutely in love with this romper! I think the more subtle tie-dye is perfect. It’s so fun and definitely reminds me of my younger days haha! Love those heels too girl!

Now that’s some tie dye I can get behind!! I like the subdued colors that aren’t too crazy – makes the trend more wearable!! Love the pictures gorgeous! xo, Biana – BlovedBoston
That romper is super cute and I’m not usually a big romper fan! Love the subtle-ness of the tie-dye on this too! Great pick, as usual, pretty! :)
Dude…. I love tie dyed stuff. I’ll rock some tie dyed britches that’s how much I like tie dye!
Loving that romper and that leopard bench!!! If only I had somewhere to put it lol. Have a great week! xo
I love tiedye and have way more than I should probably admit, especially since most are of the old school variety. But I really really love this romper. So cute!
i totally remember making tie-dye shirts like that! this romper is much cuter tho :) xo jillian
In a huge fan of tie dye! Are these pictures taken inside your house? If so it’s gorgeous!
What a fun outfit! I’ve been wanting to try a romper, and I love how the sleeves balance the shorts. You look great!
Love this outfit! The shoes and romper paired together are too cute! I would have never thought of that combo. Would love it if you shared this look on my link up-i think my readers would enjoy discovering your blog!

Those DIY tie dye parties back in the day were the best – I guess it was an early indicator of my love of crafting! I’m liking this modern spin on tie dye, too :)
Oh tie dye. I totally remember those projects, buckets and rubber bands and trying to arrange your shirt so it came out just right. I much rather prefer this toned down, grown up version. That romper looks amazing on you!

When I saw tie dye I was a bit scared. (; But ok, that romper is adorable. I like that it uses subtle blacks and whites and how you dressed it up with some heels. I remember tie dying. I’ve done it a lot, but I’m pretty positive I never wore one of those creations other than as a night shirt. This is a much trendier take on tie dye!
Gosh I wish I could find a romper to fit my awkwardly tall frame! But they all pull in all the wrong places, ya know? Actually, I’m going to put you on that – find this tall girl a romper! ;) You look AMAZING!
You are rocking that romper, lady! And the shoes are the perfect accessory, too! Can we talk about that LV bag, LOVE the floral accent, fabulous! You look great as always, gorgeous!
totally love this look! who doesn’t love grown up tie dye?! reminds me of high school yes but i love it. and don’t care who knows it. ha. great paired with the shoes too! adds a grown up feel :)

Totally remember those summers! Over that, but I can get on this new version of tie dye, you look great!
LOVE that romper, and girl you’re looking like a supermodel in your pictures! Work it!! :)
We got a few tie pieces in at work and they’re really cute. I’m digging this trend. Totally remember those projects too, along with making puff paint t-shirts. I totally rocked those haha. Anyway!! LOVE that romper and those shoes. Looks fab on you. :-)
You look fabulous! And – I may just have to go try on a pair of gladiator heels – – – – I saw a pair at F21 in olive that I JUST love…
I am all about tie dye! And rompers – can’t wait to break those babies out again soon! Also that leopard bench, LOVE.
You look amazing as always. Love that louie bag. I think our bags would get along really well. Is louie your favorite?
If it’s done right, I’m sure I can get behind tie-dye again. Love that romper!
Yup, I agree with Karly- when done right, I really like it! Love your romper girl :)
I’m not so into the tie dye, but I love rompers. I am thinking of wearing one to my SIL’s beach wedding this summer, so that I have an excuse to buy another.
I totally remember making tie-dye shirts in a little spinning machine, super nostalgic! This romper looks fantastic on your hun :)
You look fab! I have been loving this and that maxi dress is perfect! I am considering a blue and white romper!
Loving that romper. One of my favorite t-shirts is a tie-dye shirt I still have from eons ago.
Love that romper! Sometimes they can look quite juvenile, but with that black and white tye die print it looks quite sophisticated! Great look!

I can totally get on board with some tasteful tie-dye!
I absolutely LOVE that romper! So cute.
I love the take on a black and white tie dye effect! It makes it so chic and modern!
I love all of those shoe picks, too! :)
I totally rocked a side pony, too! Now I help my daughter and her friends tie dye their stuff. I bought her a scrunchy recently. It’s madness. Everything we liked is retro again. They even have those giant black-soled shoes in Steve Madden again. Anyway, I love your romper and I am DYING for that LV bag! Gorgeous!
I used to love tie dye!!! It was such a fun project and I loved all the bright colors. I think this romper looks gorgeous on you! And I love those shoes too. I can’t pull off the romper look but I love seeing everyone else enjoying it :)
You look gorgeous! Love this romper and those heels are so fabulous!

I am SO loving rompers right now – this one is fabulous!! Really loving your leopard bench too!
I love tie dye! This looks so good on you! Legs for days lady! I also totally rocked that look back in the day…. totally still would ;)
LOVE that romper!! Can I have your legs? Ok thanks! Xoxox
Oh my goodness I need those heels in my life! I love this whole outfit. And I’m obsessed with your couch!!
Legs for days, girl! Jealous hah. I like this “grown-up” version of tye dye because it looks sort of like animal print and far from hippie ;)
hahaha i totally remember doing the tie dye. hilarious! this romper is super cute on you!
LEGS FOR DAYS!!! hottie. seriously! you look smokin!
I like the long sleeves with the shorts, that’s cute! I can’t do tie die. I look like an actual pile of vomit with it on. lol
I can handle the more subtle version but I can’t pull off the romper.
I never comment but I am a long time reader and really love your content and the direction your blog is heading. When I found you, you quickly became a favourite. With that being said, I am not loving the new layout of the site. I don’t like that I can’t read right off of a blog reader but even then, when I go to your site, I find it hard to get to the blog posts. I do most of my blog reading on my phone so am partial to a certain layout, I realize.
Anyways, I hope this doesn’t come across as rude. I just really like your blog and am noticing that I’m not coming back as often because I don’t find it as easy to read.
Hello Jessica,
I am the one who did all of the hard work for Amanda’s blog. Not only did I sit here for days and transfer everything over, I installed the current theme provided by Restored 316 Designs. Because Amanda is taking her blogging to a more professional level, a truncated (read more) blog feed is what she needed.
Here is a tip, don’t read this blog on a mobile device since you are having trouble navigating the blog. Mobile devices are used for making telephone calls and messages and quick emails. To get the full effect of the whole site, use a computer. A lot of other bloggers are using the read more option anyways due to having a lot of content.
If you need anymore explanation, feel free to email me.
