The Summer shirtdress is a wardrobe staple and one  item -that is  oh so versatile. I am a BIG fan of a simple shirtdress that you can wear on it’s own, pair with pants or over a swimsuit.  A great shirtdress can be dressed up with a pair of heels or dressed down with sneakers or flats. Here are a few summer confections that I hope you will enjoy. (Links to site available by clicking on image).

The shirt dress has been around forever, thus solidifying it’s place in fashion as a Classic Style Staple. Growing up, I remember my Mother wearing a bevy of beautiful shirt dresses everyday. Little did I realize that my Mother was  clearly a “Style Maven,”  as she sported this stylist and  feminine silhouette to do chores around the house.

The shirt dress may be simple in style but add your own personal touches with statement jewelry, a great belt or colorful handbag and heels to make the look your own.

Here are a few images to get you inspired!

Have you tried the latest Summer trend? It’s easy peasy and affordable. Basically when one breaks down this look we are talking a maxi dress (preferably  one that buttons down or belts in the front) that you can wear as a type of duster over pants, jeans or even shorts. It’s a win win when we talk about reimagining your wardrobe and using items in multiple ways. Not to mention it looks uber chic. Love this!
