The Only Dress You Need This Spring: S16 Outfit #3

PHOTO CREDIT: ERIN NICOLE GRAF

Make it a button down denim shirt dress. Why would I promote a dress that isn't even in my capsule wardrobe, you ask? I forgot to bring it to the photoshoot.

Moving on...

I purchased this indigo GAP denim button down shirt dress this winter and have been floored by her versatility. A MINIMALista works a highly curated wardrobe and as such it is necessary that each of her garments work overtime. When considering a new purchase I ask myself several questions. And then I answer them in my head as if I were talking to a single party girl, apparently.

  1. Does it complement my palette? DudeDenim matches everything.
  2. Does it layer? Like a boss! Wear it alone, under a sweater, open over a dress or BAM! Open over your bikini at Coachella. Marquee Day Club? SLS South Beach! Wow. Really? I'll be at the Holmes Run community pool. 
  3. Can it transition through seasons? Absolutely, but grab a lighter wash for Spring/Summer.
  4. Can I accessorize it up or down? Girlllll. Think wedges for work, bold sneakers for weekend or cage heels for date night. Add a colorful scarf and switch up your bag accordingly. Cool girl cred sorted.

If you are anything like my jet setting imaginary girlfriend above, or you just like the idea of a versatile shirt dress, here are some suggestions to help you cop the look.
