Season Must Have: The Shirt Dress

I rarely gush about an item, but this Shirtdress is brilliant invention. This quick, chic style will take you from drab to fab in 2 minutes flat depending on how you accessorize. Not only is it figure flattering, it is astoundingly appropriate for almost any situation. How many items in your closet can do that?!

Need something that's conservative enough to wear to the office, but comfortable enough for drinks afterwards? This hot little thing is sharp enough to impress your boss in the boardroom, and fierce enough to beguile that guy in Marketing you've been flirting with all week.

More ideas? Doll it up with sexy pumps, some neck bling and a clutch for a cute date look. Or, sport it out for a weekend with the girls by adding a sweater (tossed artfully over the shoulders), a pair of canvas sneaks, and a pageboy cap.

Don't you just love flexible style? ;)
