5 {dipping}

~Can it be?  Has ombre already been replaced in the trend wheel by something else?  Cleaner lines and bright colours are pumping up plain objects, clothes and accessories.  I present the dip trend: a graceful dip into painted waters.  (This is also referred to as two tone.) 
{1} Animals.  These bright animals look fun in any room.
{2} Fingers.  I had so much fun painting my nails.  I painted them a solid grey and let them dry.  Then I covered the bottom half with tape and painted the tips with pink.  I then peeled the tape off and voila!  Dipped nails.  (Use this magical smoother to smooth the bump between the two colours.)
{3} Furniture.  I love this Ikea hack from The Sweet Beast.
{4} Shoes!  Here we literally dip our toes into the trend with this easy DIY from Green Wedding Shoes.
{5} Personal.  I love this dip-bottom skirt from Moon.  Hello office wear.
shoes and cardigan: pure by alfred sung. skirt: moon.
