Fixing Bleach Spots

I found this great tip in this month’s Lucky magazine. 

 You know when you get a random bleach spot on your favorite top or dress, well instead of tossing the whole thing, they’ve found the best fix I’ve ever heard.  

You’ll need – Tria System Pantone Markers.  They won’t bleed on any fabric and there are endless color options, so you can always find an exact match.

How it’s done – Wash the garment first, then just fill in any splotches with the marker.  Let it sink in for a day and then launder as usual.  It sets permanently.

I love it!  You can buy the markers for $3 each at www.pearlpaint.com

Wearing Boldly Colored Separates

Pull together boldly colored separates by varying the degrees of vibrancy.  Team heavier fabrics in richer shades with floatier items in pastel tones.  Finish it all off with earthy, low-key sandals. 

Wearing One Bold Color Head to Toe

A boldly hued piece doesn’t require a neutral shoe.  Pretty flats in a slightly darker tint can yield surprisingly chic results when paired with light, airy dresses that fall above the knee and show off a little leg.
