bleached leggings




I made these last week, and by made I mean I bleached one of the millions of pairs of plain black leggings I have lying around. I first bleached them for about 30minutes in my bathtub, after which I gave up because I couldn't see any diffrence. After they had dried, I saw some strange looking brown spots in weird places. So I repeated the process, and the next day after they dried, nice grey and black spotty leggings. My only problem was that the sides had a strange looking streak, but hey.. I'll just pretend I intended it that way ;). In other news, I know the updating has been a bit episodic, but I seem to have gotten myself in a bit of trouble with university work and now I have three essays due in the comming week.
