Next, I swapped out the self belt in favor of this thrifted patent belt. I think I like it better this way.
dress: Faded Glory, shoes: Dolce Vita, belt: thrifted
I'm new to the shirtdress arena, so any styling tips are appreciated. My first instinct was to slap on my tooled brown leather belt & Frye boots, but I didn't want to go too western with this particular plaid.
But all that aside, I love this dress. I found it at Wal-Mart yesterday for $14, and it's a nice thick, soft cotton - not at all cheap-feeling. They had it in a fantastic chambray as well, but not in my size...so I ordered it. I can see myself wearing these a TON in the TX summer heat.

you look great! the plaid and sock combo is so cute. i think it's nice that the hem of your dress is close to the top of the socks- makes them a little easier to wear. ~joelle
I think the OTKs look great that way, they are going to feel weird I think, no matter what, until you get used to wearing them. They are an overtly sexy look, IMO.
I also really like it better with the thrifted belt.
And I ordered the black and the chambray. ;)
I've never been someone's outfit inspiration, thank you!! I feel so flattered ♥
I think the hem of your dress is perfectly ok. It helps steer clear from the school girl tendencies that OTK socks + plaid can sometimes give, no? Sometimes I feel that way when pairing short hemlines with high socks.
What a cute find! As for styling, if it is a bit cold you could put on a neutral cardi, sweater tights and the shoes you have on.
