Caroline Knapp of HOUSE of HARPER styles a black and white Vince shirtdress.

A good shirtdress is an item every girl should have in her closet.  It is so easy to throw on, but it looks sharp for a meeting with heels or a pair of flats.  Not only is it practical, but it was also one of the most prominent trends on the Spring 2015 runways.  Who doesn’t love a trend that can actually translate to the street?!

One of my most frequently asked questions is how I transition my wardrobe from work to mom and it is pieces like this one that make it so simple.  To style this after hours, tie a denim jacket around your waist and slip into these sneakers.
