Yes to the Dress: The Shirtdress

Another great dress style this season is the Shirtdress. This is a cute casual day dress for work and for leisure. Look below for some great picks!

New York and Company has the perfect shirt dress for not looking to spend a fortune.

This dress retails for $54.75 is available in black,turq,melon,apple green,lavender, yellow,taupe and denim.

Penny Pincher Alert: The dress is also available in 3/4 length sleeves and is on sale for $29.97. Click here to get it!

How to Wear: Roll each sleeve up twice and add your own leather belt and chunky bangles to turn this into a sheik City Safari look.

My absolute fav is the Dade printed dress by Lilly Pulitzer!! It's from their Resort 2008 collection and retails for $228.

I tried it on a few months ago at Belk. It was a little big in the waist but after putting on a wide waist belt like the one above it was perfect :-)

Another note worthy style is the Liz Claiborne watercolor floral shirtdress. Get it at belk.com or in stores.

This style is great with a pair of skinny jeans and espadrilles or alone with a chunky necklace like the one below!

Readers Note: For maximum freshness, a popped collar is a MUST!!

Yes to the Dress: The Maxi

Hi Readers!
Cold snap got you down? Well I have just the thing to bring cheer to all! Maxi Dresses for everyone! Last year this trend barely scratched the surface. This season these lovely long dresses are back and in full effect. Below are some of my favorites...Enjoy!



First up is the AK Anne Klein Dip Dye Maxi Dress available on nordstrom.com. Click here to get it..I love this style because of the coverage up top!

And for my curvy girls....ta daaaa. Please don't wait to purchase. I have a feeling this dress will sell out! Click here and order expeditiously!!

I absolutely love this Moroccan inspired dress from Arden B! On sale now for $108.

Border prints definitely bring another design element to the plain maxi.

Check out Gypsy 05's organic cotton maxi dress with tye dyed border print here!


Splurge alert!!!

This Jay Godfrey creamcicle maxi dress is oh so fab..And just under $500!!


Now back to reality! This Karen Kane knot front dress is a perfect weekend dress and only $98 at belk.com. I tried this dress on last weekend and fell in love! Beautiful color and it was long enough!




The Essential add on:

*Before you walk out the door in your brand new look please make sure your undercarriage is in tact. Knits automatically cling to our skin and show everything..ughh. One way to smooth out your situation is to invest in a shaper. See my picks below:

Try the Slim Cognito by Spanx here!



Also try Assets Sensational Shaper for only $20 at Target.

You may also need to wear a half slip to act as a barrier between your shaper and dress!..My Grandma would be so proud :-)
