Happy February! Can you believe this weather we are having in Dallas? Heavenly! It makes me really want spring to get here now. Today we’re going to talk about how to style a shirt dress as a jacket.

I grabbed this fantastic Phillip Lim long shirt dress on sale at the end of the season and knew I would be wearing it all summer. It will be so cute with some shorts and lace up sandals. It’s also beautiful as a dress. But to maximize the piece, I am styling it back with skinny jeans and treating it as a long jacket. This is such a fun trend and a great way to give life to a traditional summer wardrobe staple. If you would rather try it with a shorter shirt dress, the short version of mine is still available and on major SALE! I wear a white tank under mine as it has a few cutouts in places that I prefer not to show off. No one wants to see my side flanks. I love a good white shirt dress and I am linking you to several below.

Enjoy this mild weather we are having. This look is perfect for mild temperatures like today. xoxo – Tanya
