THE CLASSIC WHITE SHIRTDRESS

The Steele Maiden: Classic White Shirtdress at South Street Seaport

I talked about it a bit on Instagram, but I really haven’t done much shopping this Summer. Blame it on shifting all of my wardrobe budget to home goods for the new apartment instead. But the few pieces that I have bought I’ve absolutely loved. And isn’t that how it should be?

SHOP THE STORY:

This classic white shirtdress is something I’ve been on the hunt for since two summers ago when I bought a cheap version that was cut above the knee and promptly shrunk it to a length that no longer felt appropriate anywhere besides the beach. Oops. So I’ve been dreaming on a midi length one that has a nice weight and shape to it, fitted but not constricting and in crisp cotton eyelet. Low and behold, here it is. This one (if kept free of any ice cream spills) should last for summers to come and will never feel dated. Oh! And there are pockets! What more could you want?

PALM PRINT MINIDRESS

Summer style: palm print minidress and lace-up espadrilles

I originally picked up this palm print minidress for my girls’ trip to New Orleans a few weeks back (that travel guide is still coming soon I promise!) because it felt like just the thing for a Jazz Brunch and wander through the Garden District. And also because it’s lightweight and breezy for that famous Nola heat. But with temps reaching the mid-nineties in New York this week I figured it was time to break it back out.

OFF THE SHOULDER SHIRTDRESS

Off the Shoulder Shirtdress and Espadrilles

Bare shoulders and legs now through summer, please! You already know I love a good shirtdress and anything off the shoulder this season – so when I spotted this combo for just about $30 I was all in.

SPRING DRESSES WITH BANANA REPUBLIC

Banana Republic Spring Dresses

I spend most of winter in jeans and sweaters, so the moment that the weather breaks I can’t wait to switch into dresses. And if you’re planning to jumpstart your own spring wardrobe I’d said there’s 2 essential types of dresses you need. The occasion dress (fit for bridal showers, garden parties, and date nights) and the everyday dress (made for morning meetings, brunch plans and weekend wandering). Banana Republic just happens to have them both (and pssst.. they’re offering 40% off sitewide with code BRSPRING through 4/2).
