The ever popular shirt dress . . .
You know what I’m talking about, the dress that is basically a super long buttoned down shirt.
I normally pass these up due to the fact they are usually a bit too short. But when I spotted this one (on sale at anthro) I just had to give it a try.
It’s actually a size up from what I normally wear but it was the only one left at the store and I kind of fell in love with the oversize feel and look (since it was over a 100 degrees outside and it was just breathy and so cool to wear).
For a fun date night I’m pairing it with some summer heels, a tassel necklace and of course a hat.
I’m also throwing on my (anthro) long summer vest to add just a bit of jazz to it.
But you can also find me grocery shopping or chasing Molly around in this with my black flat sliders.
Yep, glad I stepped out and decided to try a shirt dress, this little item will be taking me way into fall with a fun cozy cardigan thrown over it and possible paired with funky boots, don’t you think?
Thanks for dropping by my friends, have a fabulous Friday!
Linking up with Judith for her monthly hat attack.

I used to only wear mine as a dress (until it shrunk or I grew!!) But I’ve learned that I can wear it with leggings or as a duster—so I feel like it’s more versatile now!!
At least yours is a hi-lo hem which is so interesting!! Love it!

This is a sweet look. Normally I’m turned off by the boxy shape of these type of dresses but I can really see this in fall styled like you suggested. I might have look for one while thrifting : )

I really like this shirt-dress on you, with and without the vest. It looks cool, flowing, like something that beats the heat. And I’m glad you went with the flow and got the oversized one. There’s something about too-big that feels liberating. Heh.

I love the word “breathy,” which describes this dress perfectly. With the brimmed hat, you are the picture of summer! Thank you for sharing your beauty with Hat Attack!
