A spring star print dress under cool men’s acid wash denim.
I’ve had a star print dress like this on my wishlist for ages. It’s whimsical and fun without being too girly. Perfect for yours truly. And you guys know I like to shop the men’s section, so I immediately clicked “add to cart” when this acid wash denim moto jacket popped up on the H&M site. It was just too good to pass up. (I nabbed a small, by the way– gives a slightly slouchy fit without a swimming-in-denim effect.) A black platform sandal seemed like the obvious choice– bring on the bare legs!– and a simple black choker finished the look. I love the way the tough, bleached denim works against the floaty chiffon star print dress. I always take my girly with a heavy dose of edge.
Shop the look:
So how else will I style this acid wash number? I’m thinking with white skinny jeans and sneakers, to start. And with mid-April just around the corner + temps on the rise, this star print dress is definitely going to be prime for maximum exposure soon.
Hope everyone has a great weekend ahead! Tune back in on Saturday– I’m going to be giving a rundown of my experience with Infinite Tan (a mobile custom spray tan company here in Kansas City + the reason for my bronzed-out glow for KCFW).

What a great combination. I love how you mix masculine and feminine pieces. Ultimately they combine to create an effect that emphasizes your natural female beauty. It’s become a signature look for you, IMHO.

Thanks so much, babe! I really like the way the tougher jacket balances out the girly dress- but definitely need to wear this dress out on its own because it’s a stunner!
This jacket is so cool and I love the star prints on this dress!

It’s a cool piece- I couldn’t resist it!
Your style is so wonderful and correspond to my style on the whole. For years, I have worn dresses, high-heeled shoes and men’s denim jackets from my older sons! Really! I find this way of clothing very alternative and sexy… Great choice and I like your today’s outfit very much! Thanks for sharing!
Yes! Great minds think alike!
That dress is so cute. I have been looking for the blouse in star print for a long time.
You look fabulous as always.

Thanks, doll!
Wow I can’t believe that is a men’s jacket. It looks small, it looks great on you and love the 80’s vibe. Funny I just bought a pair of jeans with stars on them.

Those jeans sound so fun! And yep- I grabbed a small in the men’s jacket so it wasn’t completely overwhelming. 😉 Love the 80’s vibe!
I love a good star print, I agree that it can be applied to a nice girly dress but make it tougher in a way, you look fantastic as always 🙂
