Classic Shirtdress

I’ve decided August might be my least favorite month of the year. Tough call since January is kind of the pits. The thing about August is I want to be wearing fall clothes and layers and that is just not an option with 100 degree days. (It is an option when the A/C is full blast though! I oddly find myself dragging a jacket along places because the A/C is so cold everywhere I go. I’m not alone in this right??)
On the bright side, the thing that August has taught me is to look for transitional pieces that will work now and later. Insert this classic shirtdress. I can wear it now all by itself AND later with a jacket; probably this field jacket if I’m seeing the future clearly. Or even with booties a little bit later on. But right now I’ll stick to my sandals because the thought of me sticking my feet into hot boots makes me gag a little. October, you’re looking really, really nice right now. Like over the knee boots kind of nice. But until then sandals and simple dresses it is. Not bad options, if I do say so myself.

  10. I feel the EXACT same way. I have bought so many great fall things and can’t even touch them yet. Let alone think about it because it’ll make me sweat. Love this little dress and those heels are seriously my favorite of yours, I may need to scoop them up!

  11. Kendi, I love you, I say this with lots of love. That topknot is not flattering. I get it’s 100 degrees but no. And I’m sick of the shoes already. The clutch, I love.

  14. Holy crap, I’ve been drooling over this dress since forever and here you are rocking it!! Is it tts or what? Either way, you look ah-shamazing!!

    1. Honestly it runs pretty big, which I’ve been finding with Madewell lately! I’m around an 8 and this is the medium and I feel like there is plenty of room in here. I’m also 5’9 and it’s plenty long, which you don’t find sometimes. SO I’d say size down. I think most of the reviews said this as well 🙂 Hope this helps, girl!

  16. I’ve been eyeing another denim dress from Madewell! I’ve been trying to hold off since the weather isn’t completely favorable, but now you have me rethinking that decision!

  17. I love this dress! That color is gorgeous. I personally LOVE summer, but the struggle is real when I have to keep a winter jacket at my office year round!

  25. No, you are not alone in the bringing a jacket everywhere thing! I live in Arizona and it like people try to overcompensate for the 115* weather by keeping the indoors at 60*. I have to brace myself every time I got from the indoors to the outdoors and vice versa. It’s insane.

  28. I’m loving this dress on you! too bad I’m 5’4″ and the dress will probably wear me instead of the other way around. Looks GREAT on you though! Random thing.. how come the blog page says you have “0 comment” on the newer entries until you click on them? Glitches?

  37. I could not agree more – by the time August rolls around I am OVER summer! In all honesty, it’s my least favorite season. People think I’m bananas when I say that, but I just hate the heat. Oh, and that treasure called humidity! ?
