The shirtdress is just what it sounds like - a dress version
of the button up shirt. Think of it as
feminizing the man’s dress shirt. Made
of crisp cotton and with the traditional curved hem and a touch of modern and
casual with rolled sleeves, it’s the perfect balance.
To me this is the picture of polished style. The style is timeless. The fit is feminine,
skimming the body not swallowing or hugging too tightly. And it’s a blank canvas for endless
accessorizing!
I shared with you that my goal was to incorporate more black
into my wardrobe and I’m pretty proud of myself for actually braving the darker
side. I started with this eyelet blouse
I shared with you last week, and added this dress next. I stayed within my style perimeters just
opted for the opposite of my go-to shade of white.
Confession: I snagged
this dress in white a few months ago – I have no shame in multiples when it
comes to the classics!
I find that gals instinctively pair black ensembles with
black shoes. Personally, nude shoes are
my favorite pairing for black. It’s not
matchy-matchy and because it blends with your skin it doesn’t distract.
I went with a pair of espadrilles for a more casual and
comfortable look.
I did however add color and texture with this statement
stone necklace in red & turquoise. I’ve
been obsessed with natural elements when it comes to jewelry lately – stones,
leather, sea glass, wood etc…
This dark shirtdress will not only keep you cool in it’s
easy cotton design but brings lots of chic to your summer wardrobe! It’s perfect for the office or weekends with
changes to your shoes; pumps, flats, wedges or sandals you can’t go wrong!
Just be sure to also
have fun with your accessories on this blank canvas.
Dress Beautifully in a Crisp Black Shirtdress
