I've been on a mission lately to find the
perfect shirtdress. Considering I've set myself this challenge many times before, I was completely surprised to actually... find it! There's something gorgeously preppy and American about a crisp white shirt dress, and even better if it's striped. I found this beauty online at Ralph Lauren, and noticed they describe it as a Riviera-inspired dress. Personally, I can't shake the idea of it being well-suited to a regatta - and so I've been flip-flopping between the two ideas ever since!
Belt - Ralph Lauren
Watch - Daniel Wellington Classic Black Sheffield
Bangle - Halcyon Days | Shoes - Lost Ink
I'll admit, I'm wearing tights. It's not quite warm enough to brave bare legs, though it's always a good time to bring out the stiletto heels! I had completely forgotten about these Lost Ink heels since buying them earlier in the year. One thing is for sure, they're the most comfortable heels I've worn in a long time, thanks to the elastic straps keeping the feet in place. Speaking of things forgotten, I discovered this Ralph Lauren belt in a box of belts I thought I'd lost - such a nice surprise! The logo-embellished loop adds a stylish touch to the look, and one I can see myself always pairing with this dress from now on!
So, which keyword does this look bring to the forefront of your mind - Riviera or Regatta? Looking forward to reading your thoughts!
With love,
Gabrielle x
I am crazy about stripes dear so I am totaly fall in love with you in this dress
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning xx
This shirt dress looks gorgeous on you! I am still looking for the perfect shirt dress for me. I have seen some cute at H&M but we will see. xoxo

This looks great on you! I admit that shirt dresses just don't seem to ever look right on me. I've never come across one that works. I have kind of a big butt, so anything that's loose fitting like a dress or dress shirt, gets pulled up in the back thanks to my bubble butt! Haha. Love the way you styled this look with the bag and shoes. And lol to wearing tights! I couldn't even tell. :)

Love that dress on you! There is something I just love about shirtdresses. This one is perfect.

ReplyDeleteThat is indeed a beautiful shirt dress on you, Gabrielle! Ralph Lauren is a wee bit okay, a lot out of my price range, do you have something similar maybe from Asos?
ReplyDeleteOn ASOS? Hmm, the closest I can find is a Vero Moda Stripe Shirt Dress (no collar though) - ahh see what I mean about them being hard to find?!

I thought the belt came with the dress to start with it matches it so well! Such a gorgeous dress. I'm definitely getting the Riviera vibes although I see what you mean about Regatta... xo

I think you've accomplished your mission Gabrielle! This dress is so classic and stylish and I think you'd look equally fabulous wearing it on the Riviera or at a regatta.
ReplyDeleteWhichever way you choose, it looks gorgeous on you! The belt really brings everything together. I always think of these shirt dresses as really casual, relaxed pieces but you’ve made this one look really classy & sophisticated! But you kinda do that with everything you wear!
ReplyDeleteTFM - Life & Style
Omg those shoes!!! I so wish I could walk properly in heels haha They are gorgeous! Loving the dress as well. It looks amazing on you!

I love a good shirt dress, especially when they have sleeves. I'm trimming down my wardrobe at the moment but I know that's something I need to keep an eye out for and pick up some more of because they're so versatile and can be dressed up or down so easily.
ReplyDeletelittlehenrylee.net
You totally reached your goal Gabrielle. I love that dress and those shoes are adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous shirt dress Gabrielle and oh so chic too! I would never have thought to pair it with a belt but it totally makes the dress! I need to get myself down to a Ralph Lauren pronto! Xx
ReplyDeleteI think that it would totally work for both! I really like the stripes and it suits you so well!!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day :)

I need a perfect shirt dress too! Haha I have too many that are almost there but definitely need to find a perfect one. I've been looking in specific for one in bright blue, so let's hope I find one. And yes to this one, how chic with the stripes though?! Xx

Wow! I absolutely LOVE that dress - for a regatta! The belt seems to be made for it, and the stilettos are so cool. I have actually been looking for some that don't slip off my feet as I'm walking.

That's funny because I feel like a nice shirt dress is more European than American! Like you should be walking along the seaside in Italy. It's probably all influenced in my mind by the movie "Under the Tuscan Sun". Have you seen it?
ReplyDeleteGreat look, btw!

Seems like mission accomplished! This shirt dress looks divine on you and I love how you styled it. Such a lovely Spring/Summer look! The striped dress matches well with these black accessories that create the perfect contrast to it. Amazing heels, belt and bag. You look stunning.
ReplyDeleteI think it's safe to say that you've accomplished this mission - the dress is stunning! I love the blue stripes. It definitely has a Riviera feeling for me!

Excited for you babe - hope you have a fabulous time in London! Ooh I could definitely point you in the direction of some Instagrammers with some killer ideas for what to do in London, if you'd like?! Anyway, some (kind of obvious) suggestions off the top of my head: brunch at the Sky Garden London (book ahead), cake at Peggy Porschen, Tate Museum, see a west end play (American in Paris? I'm actually seeing that soon in London), Victoria and Albert Museum... oh and the houses in Primrose Hill are ridiculously pretty if you're looking for outfit/photo ops.

Oh this looks so good on you Gabrielle, I love it! I really like nautical themed clothing, and while this certainly ticks those boxes you're right, it can't just be used for a regatta lone, it's too nice!
