Tie Dye- the new leopard print? Grab a dress like JoJo’s!

When I heard that the old-school “tie dye” prints were coming back this spring and summer, I was literally horrified. I remember being a kid in the 90’s strutting round in a tie dye printed t-shirt thinking I was the dogs balls, but looking back on it now I just looked like I’d forgotten to put on my overalls whilst at a paint balling session.

I mean, don’t get me wrong- when it comes to fashion I am definitely for a bit of color but the tie dye generations of yesteryear took it to the next level and the clash of the color just made me look like a box of crayons, not to mention created long term eye sight problems.

But- and this is a big but… seeing teen superstar JoJo at the Inspiration Awards recently seriously challenged my perceptions and I think that with a subtle twist of the 21st century (a little diamante detail never goes a miss) she managed to pull the style off really well.  I think that she looked absolutely fabulous in this strappy tie dye dress- the rhinestone details and matching shoes really set off the look giving her outfit a classy, yet sexy edge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was planning on posting exactly where she got the dress from as it’s the best of its kind that i’ve seen so far but as of yet I’m unsure. So, instead, I’ve decided to show you a few other tie dye dresses that i’ve came across.

PS. If anyone by chance knows where JoJo got her dress from, please be sure to comment
