I don’t know if you’ve caught on- but I have a thing for party dresses. It’s not even that I go to parties (or events) day in and day out, it’s that I love a good party dress. So much so that my (vast) closet is predominantly party dresses. Which isn’t bad- I’m never unprepared and I have things that truly make me happy. (I’m also never afraid to overdress so I usually don’t notice that not every one is in a party dress)
However, you can’t live in party dresses alone (though I tend to push the limits there). Particularly during this past year, I noticed that there are parts of my closet that need some attention. While I usually will joke that I’m either in a party dress or workout clothes, it turns out that I do need more balance; things like day dresses, casual, work, even lounge deserve to have the attention that my party dresses do. So. I’ve been working on this part of my closet.
One of my current faves that’s not a party dress? This shirt dress. Fresh. On trend. Yet classic (stripes!). It’s linen so it’s just light enough not to overheat you in the dog days of summer, and while it can look crisp, when it wrinkles it still manages to look sharp.
I’ve been wearing it non-stop for errands, lunch meetings, working at home, etc. It goes great with barefeet, sandals, even heels (I am who I am), over bathing suits, and more. Not a party dress, but maybe one of the greatest assets that I’ve purchased recently?
Emboldened by this day dress I’m looking at more and more things that are not party dresses but fantastic additions to my closet. What do you wear day to day? What parts of your closet need attention?
I would love to hear all about them! Below this exact dress and the exact shoes are linked for your shopping pleasure!
