I’ve always thought of the shirt dress as somewhat matronly – a bit safe and dull, worn with black pumps and a faded cardigan by mid-level banking sector workers. Usually I wouldn’t look twice, but when I spotted a navy Gap shirt dress in a charity shop for a mere £3, I decided to think of it as a blank canvas and see what I could create.



Gap shirt dress via charity shop, Primark tights and belt, Topshop necklace, boots c/o Sarenza, Edina Ronay bag via TK Maxx, H&M ring
Because the dress is so simple and well-fitting, I could add cranberry tights, a statement necklace, skinny belt and splash of pink lipstick without looking like Zandra Rhodes. The cute leather boots and leopard print bag pull everything together for a look that’s more stylish than systems-analyst-in-a-meeting.
Do you have a shirt dress in your wardrobe? How do you style it?
The dress looks so lovely on you Jen! Perfect with pink lips and your bag (: I have one shirt dress… which is mustard yellow and kind of hard to style haha. Excited to pair faux fur with it when it’s cold enough though! Hope you’re all good lovely! xx
I love the splash of color and the simplicity of everything else~
Love the colour of your tights!

kisses from prague and seattle

This dress looks great on you. Love the necklace and coloured tights. x
Love the tights they are a gorgeous colour, boots are fab too! xxx
Ooh I love the colour of your tights, they’re gorgeous! I have a couple of shirt dresses and I really like them. As long as you cinch them in at the waist and add some bright accessories I think they can look lovely!
I agree I hate shirt dresses, sweater dresses are good but shirt dresses I never was a fan of. But I think you dressed your shirt nicely especially with the tights and shoes!

Once again you look simply stunning Jen! I adore Shirt dresses simply for the way they suit my body, however, not being a bean pole I tend to come across a little more frumpy than most! You look stunning in yours and I shall be styling mine up a la YOU, so I can look as good! xx
I love shirt dresses, what a bargain this one was! Love the way you’ve styled it with the coloured tights. x
