WIW : 15/4 Another shirtdress

Star

Veteran

Hi Fabbers

Another shirtdress. This is a pinstripe chambray linen/cotton mix. Very cool and airy for a walk around the sea. Glorious weather here on the Black Sea today. Wearing it unbelted. I did remove the belt loops. When I get my waist back I will wear it with a cognac belt probably. Thanks for looking. Any comments/ideas welcome.

Star, I like this as is. No need for embellishments.

Great shirt dress, looks easy, breezy. Love the crisp stripes too. Perfect for the warm weather. YLF

Love it! I don't think it needs a belt although that would give a different vibe.

I like it too! The sandals, your specs,
and ginger hair do the accessorizing

Agreed it looks great as is - the vertical stripes work well without interruption.

You can punch up the dress with red accessories.

Love the color against your hair! Looks great as is to me.

Thanks Everyone for the dress love! I am glad you all like it on it's own, a 'one and done' item! Previously when I put on a necklace with it it seemed too much. I think the stripes subtly do a lot of work.

Jaime interestingly I did not like this dress with my silver hair. It seemed bland and I love contrast. I much prefer it with my new hair colour and now it will get more wears.

Joy High Five! I was thinking in the morning that a red handbag would be a good addition. I am going to look out for one in the thrift stores. I did have a good match with these sandals in a white crossbody with red/navy trims but it was less than pristine and did not survive my handbag purge last year. Wardrobe hole identified.

Zaoebi Good point that a belt will break up the vertical lines. Don't think I want that even when I get my waist back. A vertical column is my favourite silhouette even without stripes.

Bonnie These are extremely comfy sandals made in Turkey. They have some arch support which I am finding really necessary in recent times.

It's fab! Love the fit, color, and stripes! The sleeves are perfect length, too, IMO.

It's terrific! I love the easy fit and I also love that fabric blend -- cool and doesn't wrinkle quite as much as pure linen.

Star

Thanks Suz! It really is a fab fabric blend, you are absolutely correct, not much wrinkle and so cool. I am going to keep this blend in mind going forward.
Thanks Jonesy! I wouldn't mind if the sleeves were a tad longer, but still happy with the way they are.

I hope you found your red handbag. They are so valueble and versatile. You will get much use from yours, especially if you have shoes that blend with it.

The perfect dress! Love it!

Carla Thanks! I love that you love it. I can see you wearing it.
Thanks Joy. I will check out the thrift stores on the weekend probably. A red bag will match with these tri-colour sandals that I am wearing a lot lately. I also have flat red closed red mules. I also think I can mis-match a red bag with many other shoes.

It looks great! Perfect summer dress. I like it this way, but I can imagine it with the cognac belt you mentioned.
