DIY: What Color Should I Dye My Skirt?

My shopping budget is tapped out at the moment, and it's just as well because I need to start saving my pennies for my 2012 travel budget anyway. Since I can't shop, I figured that it was time to take a look at my clothing and see if I could give any of my items a new lease on life. I decided that I love the shape and fit of the Forever21 skirt seen below, but I'm not in love with the color, so it's now a candidate for dying.

I was inspired by Megan Nielsen to try my first attempt at dying several months ago and it's pretty easy but I haven't made time to dye or overdye any other items. Here are a few swatches from RIT Dye website that I'm considering:

So readers, I'll ask you what color should I choose?

I can't wait to see how it turns out! I've never been brave (or creative) enough to dye an article of clothing before.

I vote for the Sunshine Orange - a warm yet fun mood enhancer and looks great with camel, the color for the fall season!

Can't wait to see the final results!

Eco-fashionably yours,

Katherine
