Shirt-Dress
I have a fascination with shirt dresses. They always look structured and neat, but when I try to wear one I end up feeling like a frumpy impostor. This could be that the only shirt dress I own is a kind of beige one with tiny teal hearts on it from Wet Seal. It’s not ugly, but it’s certainly not quality. Wet Seal can surprise you sometimes, though.
I bought a mini shirt dress from Topshop in 2006, but I gained weight and it hasn’t fit me since. (Why do people need any more “thinspiration” than their favorite clothes not fitting them anymore?)
This image I snagged from The Sartorialist. I love the short, black shirt dress with the red belt. I wish I could wear that. It’s just the thing I would buy and never wear because I lack confidence. I know - it’s so basic, why would I? I would just second guess myself and convince myself that I’m not the type of person that could pull it off. Ridiculous, though, I think most women would look marvelous in a shirt dress. They vary in shape and style and as long as you find the right one, it can flatter any body.
