When I saw this shirt dress at Macy’s, it seemed old-fashioned and matronly. I was looking for work appropriate attire and at the time it fit my vision of what corporate casual was.
I tried it on with the sleeves down and the matching fabric belt. Boring.
I pulled the sleeves up and added a different belt and it became much more interesting. It was one of my favorite workplace dresses. Easy and comfortable. No ironing required. Yeah, I was in this puppy every other week.
Today, I’m a little more adventurous in my dress so I kicked it up a notch by adding my thrifted and awesome skinny leopard print belt that goes with everything! I pushed the limits a bit more with the horse pendant necklace which appeals to my inner kooky.
Magenta pumps complete the look because they are the most fabulous shoes I own. I’ve been wearing them to everything that requires a short walk to the car and sitting!

In other news, I am behind on real life. I had a great time at SoFabCon and plan on sharing my experience later in the week. Right now I have to get back on track with everything else.

Very cute! I've never worn a shirt dress before.
Love the shirt dress! Just bought one recently but haven't had a chance to rock it yet because of the weather. But I'm eager! Thanks for sharing! :)
I think that dress is gorg. It looks perfect with the belt!
Girl, can we talk about your makeup for a moment... tutorial, please?! Secondly, the leopard and horse bring out the dress' fierceness or is it vice versa?
Wow, that little leopard print belt and colorful shoes make all the difference. Great styling!
