Oh the joys of a comfortable shirt dress. I’m pretty sure you can conquer the world in a great dress and this Burberry shirt dress is no exception. This was an absolutely lovely gift I received last year. It’s completely timeless and I feel fortunate to have received it. I’ll let the photos speak for themselves today…I particularly enjoyed when our photo shoot took a turn for the steamy when we came across a vent. They are different from the rest of the photos, but I loved them too much not to share! And yes, you can imagine what the outtakes looked like. About five seconds on that vent and I was over it.
Dress: Burberry (gift)
Shoes: Dolce Vita at Bloomingdale’s outlet ($17 marked down from $100)
Necklace: Nordstrom Rack ($15 marked down from approx $35)
Fashion Huntress tips:
1) While this dress was a gift, I do believe that if you’re going to invest in a designer piece, consider investing in something that will stand the test of time. Many stores such as Nordstrom Rack, Bloomingdales Outlet and Saks Off Fifth have a designer section for designer pieces at discount prices. I generally find that Nordstrom Rack has the best prices on these pieces. Often, there are “designer” racks, but I frequently find designer pieces mixed in with other items. The clearance section at Nordstrom Rack generally has designers such as Tory Burch, DVF, Burberry, and Kate Spade (to name a few!).
2) I wear this dress year round, which means it gets a lot of use. When looking at designer pieces, consider pieces that you can transition through the seasons to really get a bang for your buck. In the summer, I generally wear the dress with nude sandals. In winter, I add orange tights, a long cream sweater, and boots.
Anyone else have a dress they love year round? Or pieces that have sentimental value?
Happy Friday, readers! Thank you, as always, for stopping by!

Thank you! My girlfriend did a great job capturing the few photos where I wasn’t showing my “I’m melting” face. And yes! The dress has a great orange/red tone in it that I completely love. xoxo
lovely ❤
Thanks, girl :)!!
the dress not only looks comfy but looks like a perfect fit 😀 the pictures are great 🙂 and i love the choice of footwear and chains 🙂 beautiful
🙂 thank you!! The orange shoes just happened to be a good match and I love adding pops of color!
i was just checking the prices you’ve written. how do you manage finding such deals. most times i dont even know how to put an outfit together hehe 🙂
Haha! Seriously, I have a rule some days that I solely look in clearance sections when I shop! Then, I ask myself “would I buy this full price?” just to ensure I’m not getting things just because they are good deals! I also go through most sale sections twice because I often am moving quickly and miss things! I think I’ve gotten it down to a science- haha!!
The colors on this dress are perfect, and the last two pictures are so unique and amazing!

Thanks, Cara!! My girlfriend did a good job catching the part where I wasn’t frowning at being all wet from the vent! 🙂 xo!
That dress is such a classic. And I love that it’s not “The” Burberry plaid. Also, thanks for the reminder to hit up Nordstrom Rack! I love that place!
XO
I like that it’s understated too. And yes, I love Nordstrom Rack! There’s one on my walk home and I have to be careful not to go in as much as I want to, haha! xo

Beautiful dress! Yes, I agree when you buy a designer piece you should look for pieces that are timeless! Have a wonderful weekend!
