Spring Style: Tie Dye and Mesh

No, this isn't an old blog post from 1992! Betty's wasn't even born yet, duh.  But we are super excited about two prominent fabrics in the shop right now: your old friends tie dye and mesh.  Remember making tie-dye stuff at camp? What magic it was to turn a plain ol' T into a colorful masterpiece of your own creation! But I never could have made something as cool as this maxi skirt from Mono B:
 
 
Or this awesome slouchy tank from Michael Stars..
 
 
Does this cardigan qualify in the tie-dye category? Dip dye is pretty cool too.
 
 
Mesh: It's not just for sports anymore.  That's right, folks! Mesh is an optimal Spring fabric because of its breathability and layering capabilities.  Or just throw it over a neon bra at Coachella and call it a day.
 
 
I <3 this green mesh cardigan.  Perfect for when ya just don't know what the weather will be like (ahem Spring in Missoula).
 
 
Like my Gap-quality styling here in this picture below? These mesh long sleeve Ts from Michael Stars are soooo comfortable. 
 
 
 
Mmmhmm, another beaut from M. Stars.
 
 
But be careful with the laundry my friends! Or when relaxing on your friends all-white sofa...
 
 
This mint green cutie is also a meshie.  I saw an ad where a girl was wearing this as a beach cover-up, but I don't think I could pull that off.  Aimee says she would try it.
 
 
You can't reeeally see it in this picture but these tights are made of mesh! Fishnets are so 2009, mesh tights are the thing now.  Just kidding, fishnets are forever fabulous!
 
 
And this mesh bad boy, well I think the picture needs no explanation.
 
 
Ok, are you a mesh-head yet? Or do you now have the tie-dye desire??
