5 Shirtdress Must-haves to transition you to Fall

September 26, 2015

Did you know it’s now officially Fall? The first day of Fall was three days ago. I know it’s crazy that the temperature is still hot. That makes it hard to dress for the weather, when it gets cold in the evening or early morning. The one item that you need that is perfect for this kind of half-summer, half-fall weather is a shirtdress. Check out these 5 ways a shirt dress can save the day (and night)!

1. Fall colors:

Nothing screams Fall more than this outfit with a grey shirtdress, a burgundy hat, a light beige hand bag, and some booties.


 

2. Chambray or Denim:

So cute and a little more summer-y, wear a sleeveless or long sleeve chambray shirt dress. You could even do a denim shirt dress and that’s super chic too!


 

3. Shift dress:

Does it get any cuter than this polka dot shift dress and some bow shoes? And a fringe clutch?? One of my favorite outfits!! Wear a jacket if it’s on a cooler day!

4. Stripes:

Get office-ready with this stripe shirt dress. So classy, so simple, yet so chic!

5. Plaid pattern:

Plaid shirtdress is one of fall staples you must have! However, since it’s still warm, I opted in for this light-weight grid-patterned print. But time to wear the “real” plaid pattern is coming real soon!


So what is your favorite shirt dress to wear in this transition to fall? 🙂

    I know! It’s been such a challenge finding the perfect balance of comfort and seasonally appropriate, since it’s been warm! Thankfully it’s been cooling down more around here (New York) because I really love the fall and of course the fashion!

    I absolutely adore all 5 looks you’ve worn! I honestly can’t choose a favorite because they’re all perfection. Great job at styling, such an inspiration!

    • Lily Rose says

      October 11, 2015 at 9:33 pm

      I know what you mean. Shirt dresses are hard, because they could be too short, or too long, could be too loose, or too tight. It’s tricky to get that one that fits your body type. You just gotta make sure you try them on before purchasing. I was lucky to have purchased a couple online and they fit well 🙂 Hope you find something you like xoxo

✨ Wood signs for my little Prince baby shower ✨:

- I ordered custom adhesive vinyl decals to be printed for large dimensions (around 3-5 ft tall). 
- Cut the shapes out, and trace the shapes on wood boards (I used 1/4” thick plywood).
- I put painter tape around the traced line to reduce wood chipping when cutting with a saw later.
- Cut the shapes on the wood boards with a jig saw.
- Brad nail leftover woods on the back to make a stand for the signs (some small pieces of 2x4 worked well). 
- Apply the adhesive back of the art decals onto the wood signs.
- Enjoy! 🩵✨🎠

☺️ What I’d do different if I do this again: 
1. The horse and carriage are ok, but I’d loved the castle to be taller.
2. Use foam boards instead of wood for lighter weight. Wood would be great if these signs will be outside where it might be windy, but for indoors event, I would do foam.

My birth story 🤰🏻: 
I went to bed at 39w3d with contractions 10 minutes apart, but had thought they were faux labor contractions (because I had Braxton Hicks and prodromal contractions most of pregnancy) so I didn’t think much of it. I woke up at 2am and called my doctor at 4am since contractions were 7 min apart (still thinking they were not real 😂). Good thing she told me to come in. I debated if I should put makeup on and decided to not - wise decision! During the car ride, 7 min apart became 5 min apart. When we arrived at hospital, I was 6cm dilated. I asked for epidural and by the time I got one, I was 8cm dilated. I started pushing shortly after, and baby came after 20 minutes of pushing.
