In this summer of financial discontent, fashion, as always, reflects the mood. Just look at all the women on the street who have turned to classic shirtdresses.

The news piece references a J.Crew shirt-dress that was a popular seller and priced at $70. (Although, not mentioned is the particular style.)

I personally am a big fan of the shirt-dress- especially the ones from J.Crew [circa Spring/Summer 2007 & 2008]. It's great in that it can be easily styled- dressy or casual. It's usually one of my "go-to" pieces for Spring and Summer.

What are your thoughts on the news piece? Are you a fan of shirt-dresses? Do you like the look & style of shirt-dresses?
