As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’ve been placing a high emphasis on adding more classic pieces to my closet. And there is nothing more timeless than a tailored shirt dress (see the proof here & here). So when I came across this one in store on major clearance, I didn’t think twice. I was going for a relaxed feel, but if you wanted to create more of a shape, you could add a leather belt to cinch in your waist. This type of dress works well on its own with the sleeves rolled up & paired with flat sandals + fedora…or you could easily dress it up with simple pumps & a bright lip – the possibilities are endless!
What I’m wearing:
Gap dress (see similar styles below), Forever 21 vest (similar here, here or here), c/o ShoeMint Heels,
Clare Vivier clutch (lucky eBay find!), Bracelets: Vintage (similar here & here), Forever 21 &
Blu Bijoux c/o Max & Chloe, Ray-Ban wayfarers (similar)

What a great dress!! I wonder if they still have it in my store. This would be a good transition dress for me right now. I might have to copy this because the vest would hide my tummy. Love this, girl!!

I would have never thought to pair this polka dot dress with a cargo jacket, but it looks great together!

LOVE this dress, and how you cinched it with the vest; perfect. And, umm… that ebay find?!?! AMAZING. Can I pay you a commission to find a steal for me like this?? 🙂

You are really making me want a utility vest! I already got a utility jacket in the spring and I love it, so I guess this is the next step 🙂 Great dress too!

This dress is super adorable on you! I actually tried it on recently but it looked weirdly like a nightgown on me, maybe I should have added a cute vest.
