I am pumped about this month’s My Refined Style Fashion Over 40 Linkup! The most exciting part is that I have actually slowed down enough to really enjoy the linkup. The last several months I’ve had little extra time to stop or smell the roses.

Simple Striped Shirt Dress

Striped Shirt Dress

I found this striped shirt dress on sale at Banana Republic. The button-up construction adds structure to this otherwise casual dress. I also prefer the fixed band waist to the typical tied waist because it looks more streamlined.

The light construction makes this dress great for summer, but I can easily see it worn with a blazer over jeans when the days start to get cooler. Who knows…maybe I’ll have to come back with a restyle in a few months!

The crisp blue color of this shirt dress is strong enough to stand alone, so I carried the same color through all of my accessories.

This lovely pair of reading glasses I received from Readers.com is just the right touch to finish off the outfit.

    Shellie, I seriously had my eye on this dress forever. You styled it fabulously! Love how you kept the color palette all this crisp fun blue.

      Trina, I wish you had access to the clearance rack I did! I’m sure you would have purchased your own for $17.50.
