2020 TREND: ACID WASH
As an 80’s baby who wore her fair share of acid wash and tapered jeans I am very excited to enjoy Acid Wash this Spring/Summer. It’s popping up everywhere! Last year I bought this dress in a basic medium denim wash, since then I’ve seen it on Instagram in black and decided to go back to get the black too when I saw the Black Acid Wash. This is when I made the executive decision to go with Acid Wash instead of basic black, it’s just more fun! As an affordable dress it’s a great way to play with a trend for less.
In addition to this Black Acid Wash Denim Shirt Dress I also bought another 80’s/90’s style pencil dress from Zara, it’s a very light wash denim. I tried buying an Acid Wash Denim top and bottom set too but it didn’t work out so I returned it but the idea and intention was there! Long story short, this dress isn’t the only acid wash item I’ll be indulging in this season.

STYLING IDEAS
I bought this dress for Spring Summer as I wore my other dress like this almost once a week last year. It’s so easy to just throw on and go and the light blue version is light weight too so even though there’s long sleeves it was a good go-to. This black version has a little more weight to it but I still have the same plans for it.
Since it’s still chilly outside I decided to use that opportunity to style this dress for cooler weather with OTK boots. A cute bootie is a great option for cooler weather too!
For Spring / Summer styling, true to form I’ll be wearing nude and gold sandals because that’s who I am! Lots of gold jewelry, rolled up sleeves and a light colored bag to brighten the look up. White sneakers are a good option that will also brighten the look up, potentially with a PVC handbag. If you’re going out and love a heel a clear PVC option or Black heel would look great! Neons are trending too so a bright POP of color would work great for a night out too.

OUTFIT DETAILS
DRESS: I bought my TTS, it fits perfect. I did think it would be oversized (because my other one is) but this has more of a slimmer fit. The denim is a medium weight.
BOOTS: I linked an updated version of my boots. I’m very particular about my boots, most current boots are made of that microfiber and I can NOT, will NOT participate in that. It’s literally the cheapest fabric ever. When it comes to OTK boots I like a thicker quality suede which can be a challenge to find, out of 40+ boots this was one of two in this fabric. They’re a really great quality, weight of fabric is great and they will work on thick calves. The pair I linked are the same brand and style of my boots, I found them in store before I shared them to make sure they passed my quality test. They fit TTS!
BOOKBAG: The only designer bags I lust after is Chanel so when I found this dupe it was a purchase I was certain of. It’s not a knock-off as there are no logos etc but it is a veryyyyy similar Chanel dupe, without the quality obviously. I’ve literally tossed my new (authenic lol) Louis Vuitton bag to the side for this Amazon find, clearly I need to start investing in Chanel. I highly recommend this bag, I wear it over one shoulder and like a bookbag especially when I’m out running errands.
