Essential Little T-shirt Dress & 5 Ways to Wear It

T-Shirt Dress // Quilted Slip On Shoes // Tote Bag

Yesterday was the FIRST day we had sunshine in some time. It was a nice reminder that spring is FINALLY just around the corner. This has been the longest winter ever with more snow than we have had in a long time. I am ready to trade my layers and winter boots for sandals and dresses!

Speaking of dresses, I found the essential little t-shirt dress when shopping for spring pieces. A good t-shirt dress is one of my spring and summer staples. Not only are they comfortable but they are easy to transition from chilly spring days to a hot summer night. As a teacher, a t-shirt dress is also a MUST for the comfort and ease it offers.

This little striped number from Ellen DeGeneres’ EV1 Collection at Walmart is a perfect piece to take from the classroom to the weekend and is so versatile (see all the ways to style it below). It has just the right amount of stretch and is SO comfy! I love the length, which isn’t too short for work and is just long enough to knot the hem…a trend I love! The subtle heart patch on the front adds a sweet, unique touch. The whole EV1 collection at Walmart is SO cute. Easy pieces to mix, match and layer with fun prints that pop for spring!

15 Comfy and Cute Thanksgiving Dress Options

Thanksgiving is just about two weeks away. Can you believe it? Whether you are doing something a bit fancier or gathering around the family dinner table, it’s always fun to have a Thanksgiving outfit…do you know what you will be wearing yet? I always love wearing a comfy dress! I opt for cozy fabrics, something with a bit of a stretch (to hide the food baby, of course!) and something that can be layered. I will often pair my dress with a cardigan and top it off with a scarf. Layering ensures I will stay warm, but also gives me the option to discard a layer or two if I end up helping out in the kitchen or playing a heated game of monopoly. Check out some of my favorite thanksgiving dress options below!

One thing I have not been able to get enough of this summer is stripes! I have been stripe obsessed lately especially when it comes to bright options…the more colors the better! So of course the moment I saw this little number I knew it was meant to be. The prettiest color combo paired with the off the shoulder and bow tie makes this the sweetest little summer mini. I was excited to see that this pattern comes in a few different styles, from shorts to a midi dress, and the best part about them? They are ALL on sale!

I know summer may be coming to an end, but now is the perfect time to snag those pieces you’ve been eyeing. One, you can often find great deals on summer clothes and two, it’s a great time to stock up on warm weather items if you plan on taking a little vacay sometime this fall or winter!

Wedding season is in full swing and if you are a bride, I’ve found the dress for you! Being a bride gives you the ultimate excuse to wear white any day and every day if you please, and this is a dress that needs to be in your wedding white rotation!

The moment I tried this dress on, I knew it was perfection. This gorgeous crochet number is a stunner! It has an open lace up back and a midi length that can be dressed up or down. This dress would be perfect for your bridal shower, bachelorette party or rehearsal dinner. Not a bride? No worries! This dress is a great contender for your anniversary, but it should also be known that you shouldn’t need an excuse to own and wear a gorgeous white dress! The best part about this dress is the price tag. At under $80 this dress is a complete steal and is the dupe for a much pricier option! Looking for wedding guest attire? Check out my post here!
