What I am Wearing - Styling a T-Shirt Dress

When the weather turns warm, I love to start wearing dresses.  I especially like t-shirt dresses for their comfort and versatility.  You can dress them up or down depending on the shoes and accessories you pair with it.

I am wearing the Atherton Dress in Blue Turquoise from Aventura Clothing, which is made of 100% cotton.  Although I love wearing t-shirt dresses, they are not always the most flattering, but this one has a skinny tie belt which adds shape and the hem detail gives it a unique look.

For the first look, I kept it simple and sporty and paired the dress with a pair of black chambray keds.

For the second look, I paired it with a white bubble necklace and strappy white sandals to make it appropriate for work or a casual lunch date with the girls.

I added a turquoise lightweight jacket, perfect for cool evenings.  I like that it is made of cotton and a lighter weight than my denim jackets.

Lastly, I dressed it up with a scarf, turquoise bracelet, cute clutch, and high heeled cork wedges.

  11. I have never seen a striped tee dress in pastel blue colors but I love it. I think the look with the scarf is my favorite thought the middle one with the bubble necklace is a close second. I am intrested on the Aventura clothing. Can you tell me more about them?

    Also, come join me this Thursday and every Thursday for my linkup, dear. Thanks Mary and have a great rest of the week!
