Lovely Tutorial: Pillow Case to Retro Off the Shoulder Top

I love the retro vibe from this king size pillow case I found so I decided to make a casual top out of it. Simple as that. :) The pillow case itself. Take the pillow case and cut it in half (in the previous photo it's folded in half) and then fold the half into another half.

I have been wanting to ombre my hair for awhile now and I had put a lot of research into it through...
