If there’s one wardrobe item that has truly stood the test of time, it’s the little black dress.
Joanna Gaines proved it when she promoted her new Magnolia Home wall coverings on Instagram: She wore a black turtleneck shirt with a cinched waist and ruffled sleeves. While this isn’t the first time the lifestyle guru has released an iteration of a wardrobe staple over the past few months – she also wore a black midi dress when she appeared on Today show in June — her latest outfit was a master class in transitional dressing.
Shirt dresses have been a popular choice among celebrities this summer thanks to their polished yet casual feel, and they can easily continue to work well into fall. Take a page from Gaines’ style book by choosing a versatile black shirt ahead of the season change, and swap your sandals for boots when fall officially arrives.
