How To Turn Your Legs Dark, Without the Sun or a Tanning Bed
So I haven't bought myself clothes in like, eons, and was running around doing groceries and errands all day yesterday, and Old Navy was having a sale. In I go, and am drawn to these very cool cargo pants.
I love the colour, they are kind of a dark khaki-grey-brown. Anyways, decide to treat myself, after they fit perfectly, and away I go.
Today, it's a little cooler, and I decide that these will be perfect! On they go, pair them with a perfect T, and voila, I'm rockin' !!! I am doing stuff around the house, cleaning and organizing and such, and about a couple of hours later I have to go pee. So up I go to the bathroom... Now before I finish, let me tell you that the past couple of hours I had been cleaning and organizing stuff in my shed and storage room, and may hands were filthy. In between this and people stopping by, I would put my hands in my pockets.
I had noticed that my hands were really filthy, but attributed it to all the stuff I was moving in the shed, etc. Fast forward a few hours later, to me pulling my pants down to relieve my little bladder, and my legs are black! And I mean black!!! And I am pretty white to begin with!!! I of course was wearing stark white undies (which were now a shade of a very dark grey), and it finally dawned on me - it was the pants!!!
So I had to pop myself in the shower and proceeded to scrub my skin clean. And let me tell you, my legs were now red from the scrubbing!!! Anyways, I washed the pants, and we will see if they will dye my legs, after they are washed and dried! Holy stain bat man, I have NEVER had that happen before? Have you? I will keep you posted as to if they are still dye-makers, or if they have been stripped of all their dying powers. I at least look a little less white, on my legs (I wonder if the dye is toxic?). I hope the washing/drying cured them, because they are really cute pants, and nice butt ones too :)
So tell me, has this ever happened to you?

That is funny, Rachel, makes me feel better I am not the only one :)
Hope you can still wear them....good thing you didn't wash them with anything else...
LOL at the thought of your legs.
From one white chick to another :)
Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
Back in the 70s & 80s, 501 button front Levi's were the jean to have.... and you were only cool if you bought the really dark blue ones and let them fade out naturally...and of course you had to put them on wet after the first washing so they would shrink to fit properly...
Anywho, I had on my best 501s one summer day, out horse back riding and straight to a skating competition...cute little peach colored number - sequins and flouncy skirt....when I peeled my jeans off to change into that little number...my legs were blue!!! Thank goodness my coach had some flesh colored opaque tights I could fit into!! I'm sure the judges would've wondered about the blue legs ha
Have a great week,
