We're still experiencing what I call "jacket weather" in my neck of the woods, so I find that lightweight jackets are paramount to my layering efforts this time of year.  To my dismay, it's not quite warm enough for this sheer chiffon dress on its own, so a versatile, non-bulky jacket is the ideal cover-up for foggy and drizzly spring days when the sun refuses to shine.  The softly worn-in and faded feel of this thrift store find was a total score; I find myself reaching for this when I want an effortless layer that imparts a relaxed vibe. 

As for the asymmetrical galaxy printed dress, I'm already daydreaming about how to style it for date night one of these weekends: with metallic or strappy stiletto heels, a patent skinny belt, and a studded moto jacket with the sleeves scrunched up.

That dress is gorgeous!!! I can't wait to see the full thing this summer. The print is so pretty and it looks casual and chic with the denim jacket. But I can totally see you dressing it up for date night. :)

omg the skirt is AMAZING. Very cool galaxy print that's so suitable for Spring. Thank you for commenting on my blog :) I went to the NG party at like 10pm and line was crazy! I got in but then they were out of alcohol -___- except Pabst but I'm not a big fan...couldn't get one if I wanted to anyway cuz of the bar crowd! lol. Though it was fun running into everyone. I hope you had a blast :P

Love the dress, beautiful!

Thanks for your comment.. And I am sorry, but I'm not gonna show the DIY on my blog, because I forgot to make pictures.. But I made the patchwork with old pieces of denim.. Maybe there are some tutorials on youtube?? I figured it out myself, so it's not that difficult ;).. You could try it.. Anyways, goodluck and if you have made it, let me know :)!!
