Happy Wednesday and hope y’all enjoying the spring weather. On my random shopping trip, I stumbled upon this zebra stripe shirt dress which I immediately knew it was going home with me as I wasn’t ready to be haunted by it, if I didn’t buy it. The zebra stripes add that extra bit of oomph to the dress.
A dress shirt is über versatile, comfortable and figure flattering. They can be worn to the office, picnic or for a lunch date. I wore the printed shirt dress with a snakeskin heels, a simple necklace and a dark blue blazer for a minimal chic look. The zebra print shirt dress features collar with front button placket, a matching tie belt at the waist, three-quarter sleeves with single button cuffs and an above the knee hemline.

How to style a shirt dress:
A shirt dress can be dressed down by pairing it with flat shoes or dressed up by wearing high heels. They’re also perfect for layering with blazers, biker jackets or denim jackets. Since some shirt dresses can be quite shapeless it’s best to wear them with a belt that will cinch the waist. Don’t shy away from accessorising your dress. A shirt dress can be turned into a jacket by wearing an unbuttoned dress shirt over a dress or skirt with a blouse.
