Well, summer is officially over and fall is officially here. Â One of my favorite parts of the beginning of a new season is all the new styles that start to hit the stores, magazines and medias. Â It gets me pretty excited…my eyes start darting around like a crazy women. Weird, I know -ha!
It’s for this reason that I love to “putz” around online and see what various stores are forecasting as trends for the coming season.  And guess what?!?!  SHOPBOP had shirt dresses as one of their 10 essentials for the fall!  I’m so freaking excited, because I already have one in my closet!  I purchased this shirtdress a couple of years ago, you may remember it from this post. This time I gave it a more casual/sporty look.  Truth be told, I was disguising three day hair under that hat- ha!

Love it. Perfect for houston

And for those of us in the midwest (as well as mid-forties), don’t you think you can pair it with calf-length leggings? Flats, boots, endless possibilities that are all comfortable!

YES! I think booties would look so cute with all of these shirt dresses!

You are adorable. That is all.
Kristin C says
Super cute! I wish I could pull off the sneaker & dress look.

I bet you could, just try it around the house first. Or, send a selfie to a friend and get their honest opinion. Thanks for your comment!
Kristin C says
Trying it around the house first is a great idea. I’ll do that and see what kind of looks my hubby gives me! 🙂 Thanks!
Emelie says
Great look! I have a similar dress on today and never thought to wear it with anything other than sandals in the summer! I love your blog and all the inspiration – have followed you for a while. Now, if you are looking for a topic, I need some style advice and would love your thoughts!! We have dinner on Sat evening with an older/retiring couple who may be passing business along to my hubby. We are going to a very nice Atlanta restaurant. I would know what to wear if it wasn’t for the other couple. I’m thinking some sort of dress but want something different than my normal LBD. Any suggestions?
Carly Lee (C. Style Blog) says
Emelie, I hope your dinner goes well! I think an LBD is a perfect option. You could also do a black pencil skirt with a pretty silk blouse tucked in. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comment.
Emelie says
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help (and ALL of your ideas)! I’m leaning towards the pencil skirt with silk blouse!

love this look! I love shirt dresses. Saw a style on Lands’ End that I was very intrigued by. They call it “urban athlete” and it’s chic sweatshirts and cool sneaks and slim pants. I’m definitely inspired by the new styles!
Margo says
oops, they call it “sporty chic” on the website – I was looking at a catalog – http://www.landsend.com/sportychic/?cm_re=lp-_-lookstolove-_-sportychic-_-20140830

Really cute, Margo. Thanks for sharing!
