How to Style a Tie Dyed Neckerchief & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #27
If you know me at all from a style perspective, then you know that scarves are my thing. My favorite accessory ever. The easiest way to add color and interest to any outfit. Although my personal collection of scarves runs in excess of 100 (probably closer to 200, if I am being completely honest), I still cannot pass up a fun and interesting scarf when I see one. And when I saw this adorable tie dyed bandana made by Heather of HomemadeHaven, I simply could not pass it by. I love the deep blues and purples in the dyes she chose. And I thought it would be the perfect accessory for a double denim outfit.
*This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I am just doing my small part in spreading kindness and promoting independently owned small businesses that sell wonderfully unique products with an attention to detail and a passion for creativity.
Heather has been making tie dye creations for many years and is quite the expert in this artistic medium, in my opinion. All of her homemade tie dyed products are upcycled goods and she can and will dye just about anything! She has sneakers and socks and tee shirts and tights and sheets and of course, bandanas.
But her speciality is onesies for babies and she makes the most adorable owl patterns using her own tie dye method with hand painted details. Look how cute!
She also creates some fabulous traditional tie dye patterns as well.
And for super reasonable prices, you can get yourself one of kind upcycled products that also support an independent woman-owned small business.
In addition to tie dye items, Heather also creates the most amazing mittens from upcycled wool sweaters as well all kinds of other amazing upcycled creations. You can view her gallery of products in her Facebook Photo Gallery. If you see something you love, just contact her through Facebook and she will surely ship to you anywhere in the United States!
And here are some more photos of my double denim outfit and fun new neckerchief!
Have any of you tried the tie dye trend lately? There is a plethora of factory made tie dyed pieces available from many major retailers. But personally, I like the traditional old school handmade tie dyes myself. They make me nostalgic for my younger days when we would make our own tie dyed tees in the kitchen sink. Now in my 40’s, I can’t be bothered with the mess, so I will just acquire these handmade pieces from a local artisan and it’s a win-win. I get the unique and homemade quality that I am looking for and I am supporting a local small business.

Love the tie dye scarf with this classic denim look! Dying over that cute owl top too. My kids always make tie dye scarves at summer camp and I always try to steal them. Thanks for the link up!

This is truly my favorite way to wear scarves right now—and you can tell I’m not lying since that’s what I’m wearing in the post I linked—ha ha!!
I don’t have any tie dye though??? Hmmmm….

I am loving the neckerchief style for summer because it is not so overwhelming or too hot. And the bandanas are great because they are all cotton so they absorb any sweating that may occur! I am heading over to check out your fabulous styling, my friend! Thanks for stopping by and linking up!

Tie dye is such a happy pattern especially when the colors are so rich and intense. Heather does do a marvelous job with creating such beautiful and fun items. Your double denim look is perfect and scarf sets it off well. Have a great week.

Rena, thank you so much for this lovely comment! I was completely drawn to the richly colored dyes she used on this neckerchief. And I don’t have nearly enough purple in my closet, so I am trying to fix that!

Karren, thanks so much for stopping by! Isn’t so much fun to see a trend like this come back. It is so cheerful and fun and takes me back to the days of my childhood when we would create our own styles in our homes rather than running out to the closest major retailer to buy it!

You look fab in that chambray+jeans outfit and the tye dye bandana is awesome.
So good that you’re sharing info on her products on your site, she makes really unique things!

I am a big fan of scarves! I love your outfit, it is so on point! Casual chic at its best! Recently I have been wearing scarves in my hair and on my handbags! Peace!

Thanks so much, Cheryl! I adore the way you have been tying scarves in your hair! They look so stinking adorable and ever so chic. I just wish I could pull that off. I also love the scarf on the handbag trick!

That woman’s products are fantastic. Like you, I try to support artisan businesses. Being a micro business myself I know the challenge of competing with the big retailers. So I make a point of buying from independent craftspeople whenever I can. Plus, they always have stuff that is so unique.
And that scarf looks really cute the way you tied it. I’m going to try that.
Theresa
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Theresa, thank you so much for stopping by! I agree with you completely on all of this. You can really find the best and most unique pieces from independent artisans. And it is so important to support one another. None of us would make it if we didn’t! I look forward to see how you style a cute bandana scarf!

I linked a very important taste test performed last summer that you might find of interest. It was SO scientific!
I’m a big scarf advocate as well. Maybe because I love textiles and scarves don’t have to be cut into to be worn.
Plus “one size fits all”!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Oh I can’t wait to check out your very important taste test, Anne! And I love your take on scarves! That is brilliant and I can totally get behind that…in fact, I am no seamstress at all and yet I have managed to make a few of my own scarves in the past…Straight cuts, straight seams, and no sizing! Win!

So, so cute! I am just in love with the owl tie dye! I didn’t even know you could do that! I made tie dyed shirts for the kids a couple of years ago for our Disney trip, but they didn’t turn out near as good! lol!

Now, that store looks super cool and I would go there. Some of us are still hippies (Hell, I have been hanging out on Telegraph in Berkeley most of my life) as my kids call me. That place has some cool stuff.
Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful week.
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
She makes some awesome pieces, for sure, Patrick! My husband and I are definitely old hippies at heart, too. Both of us are tie dye lovers and he has been a lifetime Grateful Dead fan! Someday, we need to hang out where you hang out! Ha. Thanks for stopping by!

I do like scarves… and have figured out I have too many…. not as many as you have, but I have more than I use! Have sorted and am putting out many at my garage sale next week… I will try not to shop at my own g sale and bring them back in the house! 🙂
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Joy, that is so funny! Scarves are one thing that I cannot seem to get rid of. I suppose because even with various weight changes, my scarves always fit! And I often find that I will need a certain color or pattern and then pull out scarf that is a decade or more old and I am glad that I kept it. Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck with your garage sale!

Gorgeous scarf. I love tye-dyed stuff. It would be cool to have a shirt with the owl on it like those adorable onesies.
