Blue Crush

September 29th, 2008

No matter how many times I rummage through my boyfriend’s side of the closet in hopes of finding oversized shirts to convert into dresses, they never fit just right. That’s why when I found Lark & Wolff by Steven Alan’s Shirt Dress (which is now on sale online), it was exactly what I was looking for. With masculine details in the button sleeves and in a fabric that mimics a men’s oxford shirt, it’s balanced by a delicate neckline and a short hem that I’ll wear with cream colored tights once the weather cools down a bit.

Also, I’ve been asked to write a guest post on one of my favorite blogs, The Lil Bee, today so please check it out!

Urban Outfitters shirt dress, Banana Republic braided belt, vintage boots and bracelet, Essie Over the Top nail polish.

I love the sleeves! Most of my impulse purchases are triggered by detail like that.

your added detail of tying the braided belt is a genius touch. i love when people add idiosyncratic details to an outfit. it makes its so much more personal.

The shirt dress is wonderful! I wondered what to wear with them when it gets cooler and you’ve deftly solved that dilemma. Must get tights. And those wonderful boots!
I love your new header.
