Today I wanted to share one of my very favorite dresses from our trip to Portugal: this super comfy lightweight blush pink shirtdress. It comes in two other prints (thinking of buying a second one in this awesome stripe) and was light as a feather on some of those brutally hot and humid travel days.
You can’t see them super clearly in these photos, but the dress does have high slits on both sides which help a lot when you’re trying to stay cool! If you’re looking for something more work-appropriate, check out this similar dress or consider just having a tailor do a simple tacking job of the slits (super easy/cheap).
ALSO, when searching around for similar shirtdresses, I stumbled upon THIS and THIS. Cutest dresses EVER? I think yes.

I love a good shirt dress, they are so easy to pack in your case and simple to wear as well. The colour of your dress is a really lovely shade. 😉

Shirtdresses are always a win and this is gorgeous! Would love to see you do a post about tailoring/alterations. I feel many pieces that are tried on in the dressing room and passed on could be saved with a little tailoring, it’s a key to great fitting clothes but often overlooked. Would love to hear your thoughts and wisdom 🙂
Such a great idea! I’ll definitely think about coming up with something tailoring tips! : )
Loving this shirtdress! That blush pink is such a pretty color on you.
