Turkish Coffee

DIY bleach bottom pants - Pour La Victoire pumps

Tie-dye has been all over the place lately and although I've always been intrigued, I've never given it a change (until now). Over the weekend I decided to experiment with one of many pairs of black pants. These jeans were too long, so I cut at the ankle and dipped them in bleach. The pattern reminds me of the bottom of Turkish-brewed coffee; when I was younger my grandmother and her friends would drink the coffee then afterward a pattern would be left from the fine powder. They would look at the shapes and read the fortunes of one another. It was very mysterious and intriguing.
