Layering with a Shirt Dress + Charming Charlie Giveaway

October 10, 2017

GAP Denim girlfriend shirtdress

Here we go again: I was all excited about donning my fall gear, but the weather is being weird. Luckily as a self-professed the master of transitional dressing, I’m all about wearing a piece of clothing different ways, and sometimes even in ways that’s not its intended use. When I got the denim shirt dress, I was expecting to wear it paired with tights, boots and maybe even a cute over-sized cropped sweater layered on top. I will eventually do this later, but it is not yet cold enough for that. So for now I’m wearing the shirt dress as a sort of light jacket, layered on top of crop tops and a breezy pleated skirt. In the event that the temperature dips enough for me to feel a bit chilly, I can always button up. Gosh I just love the versatility of an over-sized shirt dress.

Read on to see more of this outfit and my top favorite over-sized shirt dress picks. Oh and spoiler alert: there’s also a Charming Charlie giveaway at the end of this blog!

    Hah, I feel you there as our weather has been really bipolar all year long really. All of a sudden we’re having July temperatures and we’re in mid-October, so I don’t know what to think (or wear) really… As for your giveaway I’m sure there’s going to be one really happy winner! :)
