Every Woman Needs A Shirt Dress - The Spirited Thrifter

I’ve made some bold claims in the past. Like, every woman needs a wrap dress. Well, it’s time to be bold again: every woman needs a shirt dress. It is with this truth in mind that I chose this week’s Monday Style Prompt, style a shirt dress. If you don’t have a shirt dress, I hope you went thrifting this weekend and if you didn’t find one, I hope you’ll keep thrifting (you’re welcome in advance for the excuse). I’m so glad I included a chambray shirt dress in my April ten-item wardrobe because it is so versatile.

I have worn this dress straight up, open over a striped tee and today took inspiration from Pinterest for the wide belt.

*So much pinspiration, I might need a couple more shirt dresses!*

I love wearing the dress open – much “safer” for working with small children and my base legging/tank layer made for a smoother post-whiplash physio appointment.
