ZARA Shorts / Uniqlo Shirt

Just the right amount of heel for a stylish boost to this square-toe faux-leather sandal. The adjustable straps create a perfect fit for comfort and style. My foot is narrow, so this is a terrific option!"

I’m wearing Allie Slide Sandal / Dress / Bag / Melissa’s wearing Sydney Slide Sandal / Bag / "I am all about wearing thong sandals this summer, especially when they have a squared toe box for an elevated look. Whether they are kitten heels like this new pair from Who What Wear, a platform, or mid-heel, this style has become one of the hottest trends of the season."

Love those neutral tones - these multicolor ones are a perfect example of how to update your Birkenstock game. Bonus: They go with everything. Susan’s Birkenstocks / My dress / Sandals / "This vegan-leather sandal that goes with almost everything. It's is super cush and super affordable with a toe ring that's comfortable, and I love the squared-off toe with a modern makeover."

Hope everyone is enjoying your summer and having fun with your fashion. We’re keeping it simple, comfortable, and affordable. Stay tuned for more as we begin to move into the fall season. Let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see for future stories.

Thank you for joining us and following along with Who What Wear,

Formulas I'm Turning To When Wearing My Tried-and-True Shirtdress

For this spring and summer, I found myself gravitating to dresses and Elaine Kim’s shirt dresses are one of my top picks for fashion and function.
The silhouette is a go-to because of the highly versatile nature. I love that I can easily dress the 5 styles featured here up or down. Here are a few formulas I'm turning to when wearing my tried-and-true shirtdress. We’re talking everything from a chic ensemble featuring sneakers and a denim jacket to a look with booties and stylish accessories
Almost as versatile as a loafer in our book, you’ll see both Elaine and I wearing our sneakers with everything from joggers to a midi dress.

I love mixing a classic shirtdress with a denim jacket and chunky sneakers for an unexpected vibe. It’s a comfortable look that’s easy and perfect for my morning coffee run.

This silhouette is a go-to because of the highly versatile nature. So with that in mind, I’m sharing some of the outfit formulas I turn to, I’m talking everything from a chic ensemble featuring sneakers and a denim jacket to a look with booties and stylish accessories.

Use Code GRATEFUL15

Keeping it simple with a neutral color, I just add a scarf and have an instantly chic look, even if I’m traveling no further than my local beach for a picnic lunch. ROAM WEAR Sandals are a must for my feet. True comfort and that edgy chic I love. Headed tropical this spring or summer? Try Roam Wear, Use Code GRATEFUL15. For beach tote, use code JANETG10

This look puts the shirt in shirtdress! A cross between the two, this style works great with a fresh pair of white pants or classic shorts of any length. Elaine Kim backpack and white sandals.

This navy shirtdress is one of my favorites! The fresh style is fashion-forward with cute accessories. And it will be perfect to pack for my next vacation. Elaine Kim’s chunky shoe is super comfortable and I’ve had this “bonjour” tote for four years and It’s great for fashion and for the beach. Her shoes fit true to size. Shop Dior bracelets here

I love a shirtdress for its ability to make getting dressed so effortless. This one in stretch linen is big on comfort and style. I keep the look on-trend by pairing it with unexpected neutral booties and a hat. These booties are from Elaine Kim and they’re so comfortable I don’t even need socks.

We're in Our 50s, and These Are the 10 Spring Trends We'll Wear the Most

The calendar may say it’s still winter, and it still feels like it in most parts of the country, but the slightly longer days are starting to whisper that a change of season is right around the corner. No wonder we’ve got a case of spring fashion fever!

Yep, it’s almost time to put away our teddy coats and boots in favor of all the looks we started coveting way back in September when Fall Fashion Week gave us a sneak peek of what was to come in late March when spring officially arrives.

The ’60s are back…and, so are the 70’s! Oh, and my personal favorite a headscarf. Wallpaper prints, patterned midi’s and flowy fabrics all have us feeling groovy.

Since there’s a lot of fun fashion on the horizon, we’ve done our best to sift through it to share our short-list of favorites that you may want to flirt with. See More

Got White? Wear this non-color, color from head to toe and channel a fresh, clean vibe, or add just a slight touch of white to your look with an accent shoe or handbag. We noticed this flower accessory started making a comeback a couple of years ago, and now’s it’s in full bloom as flower pins are seen planted on tops, sweaters, and jackets.

Lingerie as outerwear is going to be everywhere. You won’t find us sporting midriff-baring bra tops, but we will be embracing this trend in our 50-something way. Pair a slip dress with a white sneaker and chunky cardigan (both are two more big trends for spring) or wear a feminine cami with trending white bottoms.

Nothing pricey about these white boots that were made for walking.

Marc Jacobs once said “There is never a wrong time for a polka dot”, and we couldn’t agree more

Spring has sprung and flowers are definitely blooming in the fashion world! Have some fun styling this blossoming look with a trending western bootie or loafer.

Who’s ready to spring forward !!
