How to Style a Shirt Dress Three Ways
I was in the store the other day looking around for a pair of jeans. In walked a woman rocking a green plaid shirt dress and she looked fabulous in it. I could immediately see myself wearing that very shirt dress outfit she had on. There is something about a one-piece that says, "I feel at ease, yet I'm super stylish" in a very casual sort of way. I love shirt dresses for that very reason. And you should too.

Three Ways to Style A Plaid Shirt Dress from Work to Weekend
Who doesn't want to look stylishly pulled together in a one piece outfit (thus avoiding the morning mental fight with your closet over two piece outfits....)? A shirt dress is one of those one pieces that I consider an essential for that reason. I am always looking to simplify outfits to make them as functional and stylish as possible. If you pick the right shirt dress, you can make some pretty great outfits.
Outfit #1: The Plaid Shirt Dress for Girls Night or Date Night
For date night or girls night grab a fabulous bag and some great shoes. Make a pop with your accessories and you've got one chic shirt dress! Look for a shirt dress with a belt built it to help create a great waistline and avoid looking a bit too relaxed.
Outfit #2: The Weekend Casual Plaid Shirt Dress Outfit
For mommas and gals-on-the-go, this is a perfect weekend look that you can throw together in under 10 minutes. Layering with a jean jacket or cardigan changes up the dressy shirt dress outfit to weekend casual. No need to belt the shirt dress if you've got a cropped jacket as that will provide structure for you in the waist. Add your favorite pair of slip ons or flats and you're done!
Outfit #3: Travel Gal On the Go
If you are packing a bag any time soon, a shirt dress should be numero uno on your list. It's so functional! You can layer over and under, which saves a great deal of room in your suitcase! Wanna turn that shirt dress into a skirt outfit? Pack a sweater in your bag and completely change the look of your shirt dress by layering that sweater over it. Pull on a pair of comfortable ankle booties and the outfit is remastered.
