When Shakespere penned ‘How do I love thee? Let me count the ways‘ its quite possible that [In my fashion fantasy] he was talking about this dress.
- It cost me $10 – thrifted from Salvos Stores in Sydney [The Minchinbury store has some seriously great stuff]
- It doesn’t crease, ever
- It is super lightweight, making it the perfect travel companion especially when dealing with Bangkok temperatures and jumping in and out of Tuk Tuks around this buzzing and burning hot city.
- It’s versatile – looks great with a belt and flats or heels, or as a cape over a singlet and jeans. You could even tuck it into another lightweight skirt or jeans and wear it as a shirt.
- It’s very like a DVF dress – the print and the cut really reminds me of the designers aesthetic
- You are dressed in a second and you look $$$$
- The style is so good, it will become a template for me to have replicas made in different colors…won’t a white and army green silk or sheer fabric look wonderful
- It is recycled…so I saved it from landfill and am getting incredible wear out of it…sustainable and practical style
- It is incredibly comfortable and I love that it moves with me when I walk
- It has pockets!
The shirt dress is sartorial nirvana and it’s items like this that allowed me to travel for 4 weeks to Hawaii, Tokyo and Thailand with one carry on suitcase…for a back breaking over packer of the past, seriously wonders never cease!
My Tip: head to your local thrift store and look for light as a feather frocks like this one #LifeChanging
