Shifting in Perspective

It's chambray season. Warmer weather, softer fabrics, bring on the denim. Today I thought we would do some research on chambray shift dresses that will be workhorse pieces in your closet this summer. They have an easy shape that you can wear as is or belt and it provides a great canvas for accessorizing.

Nordstrom, Charles Henry Cotton Chambray Shift Dress, $88

Great base dress. I love the high low hem detail to dress it up a bit.

Macy's, Maison Jules Denim Shift Dress, $79

This dress is great for Saturdays and flats.

Asos, Yumi Embroidered Chambray Shift Dress, $87 $46

Had to throw in a detail option. I love this!

Forever 21, Chambray Dress, $24

A great shirttail hem on this dress, really softens the whole look.

You know what I also love about chambray? It's machine washable. And in summer, that is a must in my everyday wear.

Shifting Gears

Shift dresses are the epitome of simple. They can be boxy, which is a great look paired with some stacked heels, or you can belt the dress to accentuate the waist. So many of these dresses are sleeveless though, and that's not always work appropriate. Today let's look at some shift dresses with short sleeves.

Loft, Placed Floral Print Dress, $79
I love this cascading floral pattern, I would dress it down with a denim jacket.

Express, Short Sleeve Colorblock Shift, $29
These peachy colors are perfect for spring. It also comes in a navy hue!

Modcloth, Camp Get Enough, $89
Check out this adorable graphic landscape! This is just asking for a skinny braided belt and some flat sandals.

The Limited, Colorblock Dress, $79
A work appropriate shift that is needing some red pumps. I love placement of the black band.

Shift dresses can be styled to fit any shape or size. The short sleeve adds just a bit of class vs the sleeveless option.
