White Shirtdress

I'm a big advocate of simple summer dressing. Throw on a dress and be done with it. Even if that isn't entirely true because there is still the important matter of choosing shoes and accessories and more often than not, those are belabored decisions.

However in this instance I decided on the gold belt and everything else just fell into place.

  1. This look! These photos! Everything is perfect - you look like you're enjoying a sunny holiday on the Greek Islands (and are impeccably dressed for it, I might add.) I really struggle with shirt dresses because they have so little hanger appeal, I almost never pick one up to try it on, even though a good shirt dress has been at the top of my shopping wishlist for years. Maybe one day I'll find the one... But in the meantime, I'm just going to wish I could borrow yours :)

  5. Aw yes. I always feel like I fail at summer dressing because I find it so hard to be simple sometimes! This is a great example though of how to be simple and chic. I love the little gold details!

  8. Outfits where everything falls together are my favorite. Usually they're the most effortless but the sharpest looking outfits. I'm a fan of dresses in the summer too. There's just no time for layers in the summer. Just too much.

  11. I LOVE that gold belt and this golden lighting. This is a beautiful set of photos so I've gotta inform you of that. You're so golden, Lydia!

    Yeah, summer is rather difficult to layer in and such, so you just have to get creative with accessories like belts, jewelry, purses, and shoes to dress up the clothes!

    I know, i too tend to think that throwing on a dress will be simpler but then I stop to accessorise and sometimes that takes a while.
