Hello lovely ones! This week's Chic for Cheap challenge was requested by reader Jessica who currently owns the Wanderlust Sumatra Shirtdress in Robin's Egg from Madewell, but is struggling to know how to accessorize it for multiple uses. I loved this challenge as I think it's the sort of dilemma we've all run into when staring into the abyss of our closets.
I decided that it would be fun to enlist the help of my twitter friends this time around and asked: "What is one must-have accessory when wearing a shirtdress?" The answers twittered back were great and are listed here from most noted to least:
- Belt
- Wide Belt
- Skinny Belt
- Tights / Leggings
- Necklace or Bracelet
- Boots
- Cropped Jacket
- Oversized Sunglasses
- Scarf
- Headband
- Handbag
