The weekends tend to be hectic; running errands, visiting friends and family, and (hopefully) spending some much needed time with your kids and husband. So how can we handle all this and still be fashionable? I’ve got the secret to the perfect weekend outfit…
If it’s comfort you’re looking for, then let’s stick with everybody’s go-to: the t-shirt. Only this time, pick one up in a dress. The t-shirt dress is the #1 weekend outfit you should own, and here’s why:
- It’s as comfortable as it gets.
- A dress is the biggest no-brainer out there; there’s no need to try and match it with anything, just throw it on and go.
- It’s casual, but can easily be appropriate for more formal occasions with the right accessories.
- It looks great with tennis shoes; so no excuses as to why you can’t run around in it!
Did I mention they are totally affordable and readily available? Walk into just about every retailer from Target to Nordstrom and you’ll find some great options. With the mileage you’ll get out of your t-shirt dress, it’s definitely worth the money.
I got carried away shopping online, because there are so many adorable ones… here are my favorites, plus a few accessories:
The T-shirt Dress
1. Anne Taylor Loft Tie Waist Tank Dress $49.50
2. Lands’ End Women’s Linen T-Shirt Dress $69.50
3. Forever 21 Blushing Bangle Set $5.80
4. Lands’ End Women’s Sailor Striped T-Shirt Dress $49.50
5. SPLURGE: Diesel Stripe Logo T-Shirt Dress $79.40
6. TOMS classic shoes $44
7. SAVE: H&M T-shirt Dress $24.95
My favorite accessory for the t-shirt dress is a pair of TOMS shoes. They are extremely comfortable, lightweight, and all proceeds go toward a good cause; I’m in love with mine.
If you need to dress your outfit up a bit for dinner with the in-laws after running errands, throw some ballet flats, bracelets, and maybe even a lightweight scarf in the car and do a quick switcheroo. Talk about easy!
Make It Fit Tip: If you buy a version that doesn’t have a waist tie, consider wearing it with a belt. If you’re t-shirt dress is too shapeless, you will end up looking shapeless too. Frumpy does not equal fashionable.
And now you know the secret.
