What I Wore to Work: Keeping it simple and chic in a Calvin Klein shirtdress

Summer is (sort of) here in Chicago…but I still have to go to work. 🙁 And since I haven’t been putting together a lot of fun Outfits of the Day, I’ve decided to start a new–not as fabulous, but more functional–series of What I Wore to Work.

First up, we have the classic shirtdress. This silhouette is popular with women at all levels of the professional spectrum–and it works fabulously for a range of different body types. It’s a great go-to piece for those days you want to be simple and chic at the office. This is a little casual for me (I work in the professional services industry), so I wear this on days I don’t have a lot of meetings.

I went with tan wedges instead of black…it was a little less expected and played off of the gold details of the dress.

This is my “It’s summer but I still have to go to work” face.

Here are some other great shirt dresses to try for your trip to the office this summer:

1. Calvin Klein Plus Size Dress, Short-Sleeve Printed Shirtdress via Macy’s

2. Jones New York Plus Size Dress, Short-Sleeve Shirt Dress via Macy’s

3. Foxcroft Chambray Linen Shirt Dress via Nordstrom

I like the shirtdress and I think that you wear it so well that you could pull it off for a meeting with the VP. So go for it. . .
