Jilli avers that dying things black doesn't really get them black enough. Though I expect that may be things which were previously another color. Not sure how it would work on already black jeans.
Things that were already black and just need to be rescued from their faded state take black dye very well. I second Katerina Bee's comments about RIT, and the superiority of Procion. (This reminds me, I must stir the silk skirt I have soaking in a sealed dye bath. It's only been there a week or so ...)
Yay juliana!
I tried these on yesterday, but they didn't have my size. Also, I don't need them. Really.
I can't find the pair there that I really thought I needed, which they also didn't have in my size. I did end up with these, though.

Those are hot.
I need a pair of low-heeled pointy black ankle boots. "Need" in the sense that I don't currently own a pair.
[These are very cute, albeit not pointy.]
Heh. One of the med school interviewees stuck her head in the door just as I was clicking on ita's link, and she went completely swoony over the boots.
Ankle boots confuse me. I used to wear them all the time, and now they make me freeze when I have to coordinate. Well, except for my pair something like these (with less metal plating)--those go with whatever the hell they want to.
I have had 2 different people ask me if I'm ready for baseball to start. WTF?
I mean, pitchers and catchers do report in less than a month, but that is hardly common knowledge. What is in the air today???
WTF revisited.
My mom just called. Our new Safeway is swarming with cops, FBI, drug dogs, SWAT teams, media vans....according to her, the gov is expected to show. I guess he is out of spinich.
These boots are fairly low and fairly pointy.
The Irregular Choices shoes are weirdly depressing and unsettling. It's not that they're ugly -- or, at least, not
just
that they're ugly, but that they're usually ugly by a fairly narrow margin. They really ought to be incredibly cute, but they're invariably just
off.
They are the Uncanny Valley of footwear.
