Must Have for Spring&Summer: Printed Jersey Shift Dresses

Printed shift dresses make a big statement since two years and I see no shortage of them this year. In fact, the colors and the patterns get even bolder by the year. I love the shades of yellow, blue and purple in big geometric prints this season.They are very easy to style creating an instantly artsy look and also very practical to maintain. In my busy daily schedule, I love that they don't require ironing and could bemachine washed. They are a great addition to your wardrobe if you like wearing leggings and sandals in Spring and Summer.

I wear mine in a lot of different ways including as a tunic blouse on top of skinny jeans and leggins, with regular jeans and belt as a tunic,  as a dress with tights and boots or with sandals or flat shoes in summer.

Here are a links to few in all price ranges and patterns... there's definitely no shortage of them on the market right now.

They definitely seem to be big for spring, no question! Donna Morgan has so many pretty prints. Myshape.com also has a great selection at the moment.

I wish i didn't feel so foolish wearing these, because they are so cute! But I look like a misplaced hippie when I try them in the store...

Kari: I love Donna Morgan ones, too! I forgot about myshape.com for a while. I like that site a lot.

Kristin: I feel similarly to wear them to work (especially flowery ones), but I don't mind the suddle graphic ones. Have your tried them with a solid cardigan or jean jacket? I bet you would feel less like a hippie. You are the dress queen!
