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!!

All of these looks are great! I'm just a bit concerned with how the styles will look with all my curvaceousness. I see that you have pointers on controlling the lower half... what about the top? And when should I expect the summer edition of LC?

Amazing outfits of shirt dress. All of the dresses are looking awesome and gorgeous. I think the red one is a perfect shirt dress. I like it most but the last one watercolor floral shirt dress are looking a little ugly. Lovely dress and thanks......
