Shifty Business


I'm officially obsessed with shift dresses. It needed to be said. Lately, I've been swooning over almost every one I see! I consider it more of a realistic spring dream - sundresses and sandals are still very far away, but these 3/4 length shift dresses make for the perfect transitional pieces! They're flirty and fun, come in a million fun colors and prints, and are wearable with both tights AND bare legs, when mother nature finally allows!

I'm particularly swooning over the Tibi ones - the windowpane print is adorable, and I had to hold back on not making this entire post about Tibi! Though if you're looking for a more affordable option, I am completely in love with this BB Dakota Noland dress (the picture just didn't fit my collage!) and am definitely hoping to scoop it up for spring! This style of dress is also super versatile... can be worn simply for a day at the office  with a trench coat and cute pair of ballet flats, or paired with heels and statement jewelry for a night out!
