Shift dresses are one of my favourite styles. I love the high neckline because I feel uncomfortable wearing low cut dresses and as you mentioned they are timeless and can be worn any season and any year.
I love shift dresses. It’s such a versatile style. One of my favorite things to do with a shift dress to spice it up is wear a thick belt with it. Try it and experiment with colors. I’ve put together looks that range from retro 60′s to almost semi-formal.
That sounds super cute! Thanks for the tip.
Love the shift dress …. Such a classical and timeless look recently popularised again by Michelle Obama who wore shift dresses throughout her political campaign.

Don’t be afraid to add to your dress by wearing things underneath as well, such as thermal shirts, etc.
I love wearing shift dresses with heels. It looks chic and elegant. Very good post.
I agree. There’s nothing more simply chic than a great shift dress and heels. Thanks for reading and commenting!
