Buttoned up shirts tied over colorful dresses — it’s kind of my jam and you’re gonna be seeing a lot of this combo over the summer. It’s a quick and easy way to spice up a dress and quadruple your wardrobe options. And if you’re always in a rush to run out the door like me, this is the kind of outfit that will let you snooze for those extra ten minutes. Happy Monday peeps!

What a pretty dress!! I couldn’t believe it is from Forever 21 – sometimes they have such good stuff. It looks beautiful with the purse and tied up shirt!
Seriously — such a hit or miss with F21! I usually scope out the new arrivals online and then head to the stores on a mission.
I love utilizing my dresses as skirts too :). It allows me to stretch my closet further :P. Great colors in this outfit!
Great minds think alike!
Oh this is SUPER cute!! Now I’m ready to go shopping for some dresses that will play double duty! Thanks for the inspo! 😉

Do it to it! Gonna be rocking this look all summer long!
I love that dress!! The color combo is great! It reminds me of a top I used to have (I wish I knew where it was now)!!
Haha I have a few pieces that going mysteriously missing too. Where did they gooooo!
Gorgeous! I really need to use my dresses as skirts more often. The paisley here is so perfect, and I adore that bag so much. PS: want to steal your sam edelman wedges from your post a few days ago. 🙂

Thanks Alyson! Haha I loved those wedges so much, I got them in two colors. 🙂
Oh my, this is lovely! I tried the dress-as-a-skirt trick yesterday for the first time, and I felt so put together, so clever, haha. Love all the colors here, and your lilac shirt is adorable!
Seriously, best style trick ever! Thanks for the love doll!
I love the print on your dress and it looks great styled as a skirt!

Thanks Kacie! I’m such a sucker for a cute print. 🙂
Love how you wore that dress as a skirt! It kind of looks like a Zara one I’ve had my eye on for a bit!
