Denim days are here again

Whenever I think of jean dresses, I think of those old “mom” overall or muumuu versions – not a pretty sight. So while the chambray and denim trend started exploding over the fashion scene, I was verrryyyy hesitant to revert back to my childhood memories of fully denim outfits. The other day when I was buying my supplies for the bottle painting DIY post, I decided to stop by Ross (which is right next to my local Michaels). Ross has let me down big time in the past, but something told me to give it another try. That’s when I found this exposed zipper denim dress for a mere $10.00. It was worth giving a try at that price, and I’m all about pushing myself to try things I normally wouldn’t buy.

Paired with Urban Outfitter’s watercolor tee and rock cluster necklace, Eugenia Kim for target hat, Athropologie pearl bracelet, H&M dress socks (I know I know, I like the way it looks, okay?! ;) ), Jones New York cutout heels.

I wanted to see whether or not I preferred the dress over something on top. I can’t really decide which I like better, so what do you think – layered, or un-layered?

I actually really like this dress. It’ll be great once the weather is warmer as a simple, flirty outfit, and is such a versatile piece that I can mix it up into a ton of different looks (perhaps even a great beach cover-up?). It’s a far cry from the denim dresses I remember, I’m glad I decided against my preconceived thoughts!

Do you embrace the denim dress with open arms, or are you over all the denim looks we’ve been seeing so much of? How would you wear this piece?

*edit* I’m actually back from Disneyland! I had a few posts scheduled while I was gone, but decided to hold off unitl I got back – Sorry!
