It’s been a month since I posted on here, simply because I have been stretching myself thin with blog work. Despite not writing on here, I have been immersed in all types of fashion over on Stylehunter Collective. I’m loving a lot of the new trends that are trickling through stores this season.
While it’s tempting to buy new clothes and update your wardrobe, it’s a good idea to organize your wardrobe to see what you already own and cull any clothes that no longer fit or are not fit to wear. I did this myself a couple of weeks ago as I’ve stopped breastfeeding. I put a lot of breastfeeding tops on eBay so I could use the funds to buy new clothes. After re-organising my wardrobe, I found I was missing a few basics. I had lots of show pony pieces, but not a lot of basics to wear them with. I counted 11 capes and realized I needed a basic dress that would ensure I would get more wear out of these show pony pieces this spring.
Enter the t-shirt dress.
The t-shirt dress is a popular style of dress that is trending this season. It’ a must have for any wardrobe. It’s easy to chuck on and can be layered with accessories like a cape, scarf or necklace. T-shirt dresses are versatile and can be dressed up or dressed down. I will be wearing my t-shirt dress smart casually when pottering around the house with the kids or dress it up a bit more for church. I ended up purchasing the Freez Tunic Dress that got reduced down to $20. I am wearing the size 14 and its a perfect fit. If you don’t want your t-shirt dress to cling, I suggest going up 1 size for a slightly baggier fit.
Here are I am wearing my black tunic dress with pockets (Bev from Iris May Style will be most pleased!)
And styled with three of my kaftans/kimonos.
