As the days become shorter with Fall and we start to see less sunshine, I like to add a little yellow into my wardrobe. Though yellow is often seen as a bright summer hue, a more subdued yellow is one of my favorite colors for the season. I love this JOA sweater I found at Milk & Honey, and I paired a classic Polo button-down underneath for a classic yet trendy update to add a little depth to the cable knit. As much as I love following all of the new trends, a classic style is definitely my go-to look. See how I styled my look and shop the links to snag my outfit:

If I had the option, I would wear the color black everyday. Excluding the fact that it matches “everything”, black is just such a sophisticated and daring color that gives you a certain attitude unlike any other color. To keep my closet from looking dark and monotonous, I love finding black pieces with a bold shape or interesting fabric that showcases the item, rather than getting lost within the color. This JOA top from Milk & Honey is just that, as the sheer grid-print fabric keeps the hue interesting. The mesh puffed sleeves add an extra dimension to the shirt, which I paired with skinny jeans to balance the oversized shoulders. Following the pearl trend (which we mentioned here), I added a gold and pearl statement necklace for a dressy and feminine touch. See how I paired my top and be sure to check out all of my Milk & Honey looks this week on their website!

We’ve all been there – that moment when you find a piece of clothing you love, and due to an unfortunate situation like a spill or tossing it in the wash with the wrong color palate, your item is left looking drab and spotted, rather than vibrant and fab. This recently happened to me when I tried to wear a neon green JOA boxy top on a rainy and muddy St. Patricks Day – big mistake. After a quick trip to the dry cleaners, my shirt arrived home looking washed out and blah with no neon in sight. Since I had only worn the shirt one time and loved the fit, I decided to get creative and pull out an old trick my mom taught me when I was younger: RIT Dye.
RIT Dye is one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to bring your clothes back to life. Whether you are feeling creative and want to give your favorite piece a new hue, or just want to bring your faded blacks back to life with this, RIT Dye is a simple and quick solution for all of your needs. Since my top began as green, I chose a blue dye for a safe option in the same color family.
1. Gather all of your ingredients: 1 bottle of RIT Dye, 1 cup of salt, 1 large pot of water
2. Pour 1 cup of salt into the pot of hot (but not boiling) water.
3. Pour 1 cup of RIT Dye into the water. Stir to mix the ingredients.
4. Drop the item of clothing into the pot and stir to make sure the entire piece is under the water.
5. Let the item soak in the pot for 30 minutes to absorb the dye.
6. After the 30 minutes has ended, carefully run the item under hot water (eventually switching to cold water) to rinse out all the dye. Once the color stops flowing through the sink, drop the item in the washing machine on one cycle with cold water and detergent to thoroughly rinse the dye. Hang dry the item, then admire your new masterpiece!

** RIT Dye is carried is most grocery stores in the detergent department. One piece of advice if you choose to use RIT Dye: be very careful when handling the dye. It will stain anything it comes in contact with, so make sure to wear something you don’t care about when dying your other items. **
