Style Superfood: The Shirtdress

The Shirtdress is one of those eternally In warm-weather items. It’s easy, flattering and - with the collar popped - endearingly obnoxious. But if I see one more shapeless, solid-colored version of it at H&M, I’m might have a narcoleptic episode.

Thrift stores - Rags-a-GoGo in this case - usually offer much more interesting (and cheaper, obvs) versions of this could-be played out trend. This one ($28) was slightly matronly when purchased, so I butchered the hem to sexify it a bit. Belt it, add wedges and voila! A trend beloved by everyone becomes uniquely yours.
