THE EFFORTLESS SHIRTDRESS

posted by Elshane on Jan 13 2016, under Fashion

This 7 month baby bump is getting in the way! It has become fun to dress these days, figuring out new ways to attempt chic-land while steering clear from any maternity store. So far, job successful!

This white shirtdress is something I'd easily wear to work back in my New York City days as the publicist for Diane von Furstenberg. I love how effortlessly chic it reads. Nowadays, my job in LA consists of running around town pulling samples for photo shoots as a fashion stylist, so the opportunity to wear a bosslady shirtdress is few and far between. 

Power-dressing, as I'd call this look, is as easy as the dress you throw on, and the accessories you choose to match. These boots, for example, are a little less power ranger, and a little more princess pretty. It's fun to mix the serious nature of the shirtdress with a whimsical shoe. Maybe not the perfect shoe choice for those board meetings back at DVF, but for a casual day in LA, the shoe fits the bill!

The vest is the final touch on this look. If you know me pretty well, you know I have a strong distaste for vests in general. It takes a lot to put me in a vest. I steer very clear of leather, denim, and other vests, as I typically find them to be too trendy and "trying". But this clean camel vest made the cut... it up'd the style ante just that much more. She took the look from basic b*tch to badass bossy boo!
