A little shift dress like this burgundy and white striped wool number is extremely versatile. For winter you can pop a thermal plus another long sleeved top under it, add some pantyhose or leggings, and throw on a pair of boots and a coat and voila! For the warmer weather, bare your arms and legs and polish the look with a pair of killer heels. My hubby got extra points for buying these Nine West patent shoes last Mother’s Day! A longer and less form-fitting shift dress is ideal if you’re feeling more body conscious.
