Remixing a dress as a jacket with lived-in denim.

The last time you saw this suede number, I was wearing it in its intended form: as a dress. (I also had massively long ombré brunette hair, ha!) Well since Kansas City is a long ways off from being warm enough for bare legs, I decided to remix this dress as a jacket. Over a white bodysuit and girlfriend jeans, this look has a sort of Montana chic feel to it, right?

What are girlfriend jeans, you ask? Think boyfriend jeans (i.e., slouchy) with a bit more of a feminine fit. If you have avoided a boyfriend jean because you worry about losing your shape, a pair of girlfriend jeans may be the cut for you. I’m wearing an older version of these jeans here, but I also love these and these.

I have been wearing these neutral mules for ages, and I found ’em in stock here and here. Such a good buy, guys. I wear these with dresses + shorts in the summer and jeans all year long.

Shop the look:

Thankfully, the weather decided to cooperate when we shot this look; it was only in the 40s– which felt like straight up August after that insane Polar Vortex the week prior. Now that it’s February, we can expect some warmer days sprinkled in amongst the freezing stretches. A nice little reprieve after what has felt like a really frigid Midwest winter. I honestly won’t be satisfied until we’re consistently in the 70s, which is months away.

My weekend is pretty packed: a fun night downtown with friends tomorrow night, and then hitting up Kindred on Saturday morning for their Galentine’s shopping event. Mimosas and 20% off?! That 100% sounds like something you should come to if you live in the KC area. I hope to see you there! You’ll know it’s me because I’ll have a little champagne buzz and an armful of really cute clothes. 😉

  3. “Girlfriend jeans” — that’s a new term to me; thanks for the education. Makes perfect sense when describing jeans with a curvy shape. The weather’s been crazy here, too. Last week it was 1-degree F. and yesterday it was 60 degrees. You never know how to dress.

    1. Yes! The weather has been crazy in KC, too- we were warm over the weekend and then frigid, then had an ice storm on Wednesday night and more snow this weekend!

  22. Your dress looks great as a jacket! i haven’t tried that look in a while, I love doing it with my shirt dresses. I should try it again soon!

    Hope that you are having a great week and have a nice weekend ahead of you 🙂

    Today the weather didn’t decide to cooperate with me and forced me to stay at home, also the flu attacked me, but I loved your very cool look.
