Many of you, I’m sure, left your tie-dye wearing days behind you in middle school during that summer you realized you were too old for sleep away camp. I’m also sure none of you thought the ultra hippie pattern would be making a comeback anytime soon. Clearly, you were wrong. No worries, I too missed a telltale sign when my mother purchased a tie-dye t-shirt last summer that I scoffed at. One way or another, the design we have all come to associate with color war and friendship bracelets is back in a big way, having first graced the Proenza Schouler Spring/Summer 2010 show in the form of a neon green frock. Unlike the tie-dye of our youth, this season’s take on the tween classic is all grown up with a sophisticated and edgy feel that works for both day and night. This slouchy Joie Joann Tie-Dye Linen Top with scoop neck and pocket detail will surely rough up your feminine summer staples and who knows? It might even inspire you to sit around a campfire and tell ghost stories.
