I love Valentine’s Day. I also love good deals. So when I saw this shirt dress on clearance for $13.98 at Old Navy, there was no question that it was coming home with me. The tiny heart print that covers the dress is festive without being over the top, which makes it wearable year-round.
OUTFIT #1: Shirt as a Dress
Just pop a red cardi over the dress and it’s Valentine’s Day ready! I accessorized with some new clearance jewelry from Target and Walmart (under $18 for both necklaces and the watch!). I don’t have any pretty black high heels that are closed-toe, so I like to pair peep-toe pumps with opaque tights in the colder months.

OUTFIT #2: Dress as a Shirt
To switch up the look of this outfit, I just popped this bright-colored pencil skirt over the shirtdress to transform the look. I’ve had my eye on this J. Crew Factory skirt since September, but the price wasn’t working for me until January;)

Oh my goodness, I love this! I love how you styled the shirt as a dress! My favorite part is the way the sleeves roll up over the sweater. Perfect work outfit gone Valentine's date night!
I love the idea of dress as shirt with a skirt. I need to try that!!

I love both of those outfits…you've got me thinking of how I can do a similar look with the things in my closet!
You styled it so well for both looks!! I like that you cant tell from afar that it is hearts. Good looks š
I love that orange/coral skirt. That will look amazing in the summer with a tan as well!
I love this shirt dress! So pretty and perfect for v-day!
Definitely love this transitional piece. I tend to usually buy pieces that can be worn many different ways so I can get my money's worth haha.

Love Love Love this Wardrobe re-wear post. It's my favorite by far. That dress and pencil skirt are gorgeous!
Cute cute cute! I love that this top can be Valentine-d up but that it also has staying power beyond the holiday!
LOVE that skirt! I always love J Crew's pencil skirts, but I never watch out long enough to get a good deal on one, so I usually am the one window shopping! haha. That color looks great on you!
