shirtdresses

shirtdresses must be my favorite spring/summer trend. i had been wanting one for a while, for reasons that had nothing to do with what was showing up on the runways, so it was such a pleasant surprise to start seeing them in stores! (a brief story: one of the girls in my house was sharing her impressions of photographs she had found of her mother that had been taken in paris in the 1970s. she said she was terribly impressed by her mother's style, and one of the examples she mentioned was a perfect shirtdress.) anyways, here are some great shirtdresses i've seen on other fashion blogs lately:

$58 at urban outfitters, via i am fashion











dvf, was $285 (now unavailable) at nordstrom. via omiru.









$129 at bebe, although the other photos there look much sluttier (figures). via omiru.













shirtdresses on three mystylediary.net members: wafferl, k_lam, and festes_weiss.



i ended up buying a black wrap shirtdress from forever 21 (under $30). they have several other pretty dresses on their website, so go check them out!

Hi, this is Trisha from Omiru. Sad that the DVF shirtdress isn't available anymore...the print was striking.

On another note, what's your major at Stanford? I was MS&E, class of '04 :)
