The Shirt Dress

Shirtdresses are huge right now! They are effortless, chic and comfortable and come in a variety of different interpretations. 

This Dallin Chase Shirtdress, available at Bluefly.com is made of lightweight, gauzy material for a casually cool summer look. Pair with embellished flats during the day and nude wedges for a low key night with friends. 

For a more formal, "work-place appropriate" style, choose a look similar to this Theory dress. The silhouette is broken up by a delicate skinny belt and paired with pumps to polish it all off. 

 What a combination of trends! Flirty florals and embellishments all come together in this shirtdress style. Kelly Ripa is always effortlessly stylish and continues her chic style with this Gryphon shirtdress provided by her wardrobe specialists, Intermix.

You can still show off your sexy with a fitted style like this Military Shirtdress from Express. Bold buttons and bold shoulders make this a structured, sexy silhouette!

Forever 21 never fails in offering trends for less, but always with a twist. Here, the shirtdress has gone flirty with a bubble skirt bottom.

Men's Fashion Friday :: The Commuter Tie

Finally, a functional tie! The Commuter Tie by Thomas Pink conveniently houses your iPod (wires and all!) so you can tuck your tunes in a comfortable place! 

There is nothing complicated about it. For just $85, choose from a selection of fashion colors, assemble your tie like normal, then tuck your iPod in the pocket and loops on the reverse side where it remains concealed. What a hassle free way to listen to music while you're on the go! 

Sequence Still Sparkles

The sequenced look still stands and the summer sun makes the sparkles shine bright! Looks can be casual, subtle or sexy while remaining comfortable and classy. 

I adore a comfortable slouchy tank. What I adore even more is one that is bedazzled with dimension like this J.Crew Tissue Sequin Tank. Clear discs of shimmer act as the foreground to this style which is available in a collection of innocent summer colors. 

For a longer, sexy-sleek look, this sequin lace tank from Express can be worn as a dress or paired with a compatible legging for a less flashy interpretation.  

Throw in a little glam with your casual get-up. Another selection from Express, their embellished oversized sweatshirt, is rocker-rough with a tribute to '80's style. Express is spelled out in clusters of metallic sparkles in a ragged design to throw the eye off. 

Dazzle up your Tom's with a little glitter! With Tom's One-for-One program, purchase a pair for yourself and a pair gets donated to a child in in need. 

You can see the comfort in this blouson dress. The silhouette is simple but with the perfect kiss of sequence, the look is taken from smooth to sexy! 

Take your outfit from day to night by sassing it up with a sequin cardigan. This International Concepts Style is a versatile piece you can pair with many options. Wear it over a tank with black jeans as shown in the photo above, dress up the look with a pencil skirt or couple it with your LBD for a classy cocktail creation!
