The Petite Philosopher

Thoughtful Style.

Swing Shift.

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” – Coco Chanel

Shift dresses are classy; maybe it’s because they remind me of Jackie O. They are very versatile, and can be easily dressed up or down. For many, shift dresses are the “go-to” pick for the office or work, paring it with a blazer or cardigan. They are also appropriate for semi-formal  occasions, and a great staple for nights on the town. I have even worn this dress with a black knit cardigan, black opaque tights, and ankle booties to keep it casual. When shopping, I try to find clothing that can be worn multiple times and accessorized in different ways. I always find it fun to experiment with the clothes you already own to see how they can be made to look different, fresh, and new.

Dress: H&M. Bag: Mansur Gavriel. Shoes: 424 Fifth. Bracelet: Lulu Frost (old, similar here). Watch: Chanel. Lips: MAC Russian Red.
