Since first trying out a shirt dress just over a month ago I’ve become a fan of this versatile wardrobe workhorse. They are ideal for the fluctuating temperatures we experience at this time of year. When the weather is on the cool side, tights and boots are the perfect option. For warmer days I’ll be wearing this Finery shirt dress with a pair of elegant shoes, like the embellished ones I wore in this recent post.
The shirt dress was one of several Finery items I bought from Secret Sales. I picked up some incredible bargains – this dress was only £13! The top of the pockets sit on the waistline so there’s no need for a belt, and although I wouldn’t want to stuff the pockets I could easily fit my phone and credit card in them without creating an unflattering bulge. I love the mix of colours in this shirt dress, which gives me plenty of options for accessories. I decided to pick out the burgundy as the main colour as I knew these knee high boots would work well with it. To balance out the colours I chose a lime green bag to highlight the green accents in the print of the dress. The dark blue crystal necklace from Eternal Collection (seen previously here and here) finishes off the look.

That is a very pretty shirt dresses! It had a beautiful print and colors. I love shirt dresses, and you can also wear them as a cardigan of coat!
Thanks Nancy! Yes I’ll try wearing this one as a cover up with jeans, and maybe over tailored trousers as it’s not too long.
I’m loving the Finery label. Well done for finding such a bargain. I’m heading over to Secret Sales now!

Finery has been popping up in my Facebook feed for a while – I thought it would be quite expensive so I couldn’t believe the discounts at Secret Sales. I like Brand Alley and Cocosa too for big discounts on good quality brands.
I love a good shirtdress! Beautiful colors and print on yours!

Thanks so much Rena!
Absolutely love it! Especially the colours. I do love a shirt dress but have yet to find one that I love enough to spend my money on. But if I did have one, I’d definitely wear it with boots and tights in the winter and sandals in the summer.

Thanks Suzy! I’m only recently embracing the shirt dress but now I’m a fan – especially since I realised I can wear them as a cover up/duster as well!
Such a great dress, the colors are perfect.
Thank you Sarah!
I DO love shirtdresses! I like to belt them so that my waist is defined. Yours doesn’t need one, though – you look fab! The print is so unique, too!

Thanks Jacqui! I bet you’d get lots of wear out of a denim shirt dress!
What a gorgeous shirt dress. It is like a modern watercolor camo print. Love those maroon boots, too. =)
Happy Hump Day Emma!
Thanks Ada 🙂

Love the colors in the shirtdress on you and the fit is great! Boy it really looks fab with your hair! Love the burgundy boots with it as well and I have several shirt dresses I hope to wear this spring. I love that you dont have to wear a belt with it either!
