A Shift Dress & Other Styles You Need



Say hello to our shift dress

This year, we decided to debut a plus size shift dress. For years, we’ve worked on perfecting our special occasion wear. However, we wanted to broaden our fashion horizons a bit and present a style that’s both pragmatic and fun. As much as we enjoy being there for your receptions, weddings, and cocktail parties, we realize your schedule also demands more. We know how important it is to own practical pieces you can flaunt for different occasions. That’s why we decided to shake things up and curate styles you can wear over again.

From the office to the weekend

The design for our Manhattan Shift Dress was inspired by busy, working women. A sleek silhouette, modest neckline, and ¾ length sleeves with ties make this dress a must-have for your wardrobe. For the office, this plus size dress pairs perfectly with block heels. In the winter, you can change it up with boots. On Saturday, switch it up with dressy sandals or plain sneakers for a brunch date. Feeling chilly? Just add a denim jacket and you’re good to go. With summer wedding season coming up, you can also dress up our shift dress with strappy heels and accessories.

Keeping up with the kimono

Another great style you can wear for different occasions is our Bali Breeze Bellini. Pair this versatile kimono with leggings or ponte pants and a tank top for the office. Simply wrap it and tie it in the back for a more tailored appearance. Or, tie it in the front and wear it again with jeans and sneakers for casual Fridays. When the weekend hits, take this kimono out for a spin with shorts or jeggings. For a leisurely appearance, keep it open. Whether you’re out for breakfast, brunch, or shopping, you’ll look effortlessly put together in our Bali Breeze Bellini.

A ruched top that tops our list

Every closet should have a great assortment of tops. Our Reverie Ruched Top can easily be transformed from day to night. And, ruched sleeves take this plus size top to another level of chic. Depending on how you style it, this ruched top can be worn for any occasion. Pair it with a pencil skirt and heels for your 9-5 schedule. After work, ditch the skirt for jeggings and hit up happy hour. On Saturday, feel free to lounge around the house in linen pants and slippers. Available in both matcha green tea and black, you’ll want both colors in your closet.
