The Classic Shirtdress

The classic shirtdress is a staple in every woman’s closet. Always a quick and easy toss on, a few accessories and you are good to go for the day. This is one that has been in my closet for several years now. I found myself not reaching for it very often even though I love the color and silk fabric. Earlier this season I pulled it out and asked myself why. I quickly came to the conclusion that I didn’t like the belt that came with it because it was so wide. That was a quick and easy fix. Brown dress, add a different thin brown belt.

When one is petite like myself (5’1”), wearing a wide belt makes me feel like I have been cut in half and not in a flattering way. There are many reasons that we let things hang in our closet even though we really like a garment. I challenge you to reach into your closet and pull out something you haven’t worn for a while, figure out why and then put your personal approval stamp on it and enjoy!
