Tunic Tales

Flashbacks.  For my entire primary and secondary schooling, I wore a uniform, which primarily comprised a pleated tunic worn over a button-down shirt.  So, whenever I see that look, I have flashbacks to my years of wearing uniforms.

Layering a shirt under a sleeveless dress is a great restyling option for dresses though.  Tara of Mix and Match Fashion rocked a dress over a shirt recently.  She looked so polished and professional that I had to give it a try.

My Kay Unger sheath is perfect for styling in this way because of its silhouette and neckline.



The stripes on this Kate Spade New York Ruby Street Bow Monette bag are
cool complements to the dots on the shirt
