    The Hidden Boutique Blue Shirt Dress | One Item, Three Ways

    September 6, 2016

    I have a little treat today as not only have I discovered a new, affordable online store for you, but I have a gorgeous little day dress that will slot right into your wardrobe.

    Say hello to The Hidden Boutique* – a super affordable online store, offering gorgeous wardrobe casual basics and party dresses at wallet friendly prices (and with zip-pay too!).

    When Tori from The Hidden Boutique contacted me I was surprised: firstly for the fact I hadn’t come across the store before and secondly how perfectly priced her curated range of garments were! I had trouble deciding on an item to focus on in this week’s one item, three ways feature – however this Harper and Me shirt dress stood out for its versatility.

    A gorgeous, classic cornflower blue, this little dress is spring and summer ready with the simple addition of sandals and a hat, or throw on some tan heels and grab a clutch for a dinner date or night out. I also love to pair a shirt dress with loafers for a comfortable, polished look for work or a meeting. I wore it today to a meeting in the city – practical for the walk to the meeting; yet comfortable and stylish for meeting new people, too.

    Apart from its versatility, this dress is also super practical for nursing with the button down front; and with the addition of the pockets and draped front section it’s flattering over the stomach. The sleeves are also easy to fold up and button back for a stylist touch. It’s polyester so has a silky feel. I’m wearing a 10 and I think it’s quite true to size. Did I mention it’s $49?!

    Here’s how I styled it The Hidden Boutique’s Harper and Me blue shirt dress.
