How to bleach denim.

Many of us own old denim pieces in our closet, which we never use, they're probably too old or out of fashion, but what's worse than anything is finding the perfect pair of jeans or the best go to denim jacket and you hate it's color, so cheer up there is a way to lighten the denim wash and make your old piece or new piece wearable!

Preparations:

For the bleaching process you'll need:

A plastic bucket 

Gloves 

Spray bottle

Regular bleach

I would reccomend you do the activity outside due to the smell of bleach and the spritz of it, if not outside then in a balcony would be fine.

I also reccomend trying it with an old piece of denim ,one you don't wear so you know how the reaction goes if you'll be doing it with a new purchase.

Note:this bleaching technique gives an acid wash effect if you would want a plain blue wash find it in the bottom of th article.

Steps:

1.Wear your gloves before doing anything.

2.Fill half of the spray bottle with water and the other half with bleach.

3.Place your denim piece on the floor ,be careful with the bleach it may ruin your carpets or even your clothes so wear something you don't care about when doin the experiment.

4.Start spraying the bleach all over the denim, don't spray too much all at once, spray half of the bottle and wait for the bleach do it's magic, you'll see the color transforming in a magnificent way.

5.Wait for 20 minutes for the bleach to dry then turn the piece on the other side and repeat the process.

6.Once the piece is dry transfer it to the bucket and wash and dry the denim piece seperately the regular way.

As mentioned the result will give you an acid wash with different shades of blue, but for bleaching the piece into a pale blue color there's another method of dunking the piece inside a bucket filled with bleach and water and leaving it for a couple of hours, the more you leave it the lighter the wash.

4 Staple items to wear all year long.

     Some women like being practical and try to invest in their closet in every possible way, and what better way to invest in your closet than to own pieces you could wear throughout the seasons except in a different style according to the weather. 

Once you put aside your summer clothes and make room for the fall/winter attire in your closet keep the basics and the four following items. 

The LBD

      The little black dress should be owned by every woman, it's versatile and effortlessly chic all year long plus it's black!

Summer. 

The best season to wear your little black dress alone with a pair of heels for a night out or with a pair of sneakers for chilling on a casual evening.

 

Fall. 

Fall and knitwear are best friends , a big slouchy cardigan with ankle boots are the go to for fall. 

Winter. 

Pair it with your favourite coat and add tights for extra warmth, incredibly chic and incredibly easy. 

Spring. 

A kimono or a light pastel jacket would do great, keep it simple with flats or sandals and add some bling. 

The silk scarf. 

       Silk scarves are definitely underrated though they give ultimate style to the wearer , you should buy a colourful printed silk scarf and you should thank me later. 

Summer. 

We always suffer from bad hair days so, a silk scarf will hide your not so proud hair and it could be tie in so many different ways. 

Fall. 

Ladies meet belting the scarf method, first introduced by Burberry in 2014 and second rocked by the gorgeous Olivia Palermo, you should definitely give it a try. 

Winter. 

Winter means monochrome outfits , mostly boring ones add in a colourful scarf for a fresh vibe. 

Spring. 

Work with exciting combos and mix colours with your scarf by tying it around your neck. 

The graphic tee. 

A graphic tee is always an interesting piece but still so comfy ,it can be worn in colder weather too.  

Summer. 

Pair it with matching shorts and slip ons for a casual day. 

Fall.

Wear it with a sporty black leather jacket and a pair of boyfriend or mom jeans. 

Winter. 

Your art of layering shall proceed , layer it with a plaid shirt or a cardigan and a warm jacket over it. 

Spring. 

Tuck your t-shirt in a maxi skirt or do the t-shirt knot. 

The white button down. 

Always a basic and always a saviour, your next purchase should be from the men's section as it has more crisp and a comfier fit which never gathers both in the women's section. 

Summer. 

Tie it around your waist for a stylish touch. 

Fall.  

Wear it with leggings and boots for an autumn feel. 

Winter. 

Layer it underneath a sweater for a smart chic look. 

Spring. 

Ever heard of the shirt dress , spring is the best season to wear it with a pair of sandals/booties.
