Not to get too graphic, but we all know there are certain days when a girl would rather cut off her own ear than have anything hugging her lower abdomen. You know, for whatever reason.

I can add this dress to the short list of comfortable garments that aren’t shaped like potato sacks. It does have that elastic band, but it’s nice and high up on the waist. I love that I can make my “bum” days look just as good as my regular days. It’s pretty much my most valuable skill.

Unfortunately I don’t think I can carry this dress into the winter, but for spring through September it works! See below for a side-by-side of the 2 ways I’ve worn it. Wishing you a comfortable Wednesday…

Voila! –  my first shirtdress. I feel this is a good time to start an important philosophical discussion: why is a shirtdress called a shirtdress? Doesn’t every dress have some kind of shirt attached to it? Otherwise it would be a skirt.

Deep stuff, I know. Who knew a simple piece of clothing could be so existential?
