THE LITTLE BLACK (TSHIRT) DRESS

The Little Black dress is always a good idea and you can never have too many of them. You cannot beat their versatility. I have a fondness for Tshirt dresses, for the comfort they offer. You can literally lounge in them,  or run around a toddler, or even rush out to grab that much needed drink with your girl friends. As Summer was rolling in, I had done a post on a Graphic Tshirt Dress, so I knew a post on a basic black Tshirt dress was due on the blog. I wear it almost every week, but had not featured it as an Outfit Post.

I had a super tough time, in laying my hands on this dress. I did have a older version of this, which due to wear and tear, wasnt much of a looker. So i was on the look out for one, which was comfy, yet didnt look like a pillow. It had a rich color tone, which didnt bleed, or it didnt show up my problem areas. Tried on quite a few,and discarded quite a few. Finally found one in Old Navy. I had checked it out online, and found it in store. When I was about to pay, the cashier and me had different ideas on the price. It was priced more on the store and Old Navy, unlike every other retailer would not match their own price . I have never heard of such a thing, and I am an avid shopper. I waked out of the store, without buying it. A few days later, Old Navy had a sale, and I got the same dress, at the reduced online price, from the same store.This was one confusing shopping expedition I must add. 

While at the store I had tried on a Size Small, and a Size Extra Small, and decided on teh former. It did a better job of hiding imperfections. Sizing Up or Sizing down should always be checked out, as different styles, will fall differently on our bodies. Its a jersey dress with a flared style, and it works well on my body type. 

You can go the super casual route of styling a Tshirt dress, by pairing it with a baseball cap, throwing on a shirt and slipping into some flipflops. I wanted to style it for a casual dinner date in Fall.Booties and dresses have a soft spot with me. I know I know , the weather is almost 90F, and it doesn't feel like Fall exactly now. Monochromes were what I was looking for in this outfit. So played by the blacks and whites, just with a hint of gold(Kendra Scott Rayne Necklace). A Fall Lip(Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creme - Rome) added the final touch.
