The weekend is over and I’m trying to get back into the swing of things. Between wedding planning, keeping up with the blog, and juggling my social media clients things have been nothing short of crazy around here. Over the weekend the future Mr and I went down to West Palm Beach to check out our wedding venue and have our first food tasting.
This might sound a little crazy but I picked our wedding venue without even seeing it in person. As soon as I saw the venue, I knew that’s where we had to get married and he agreed. Seeing it in person was beyond incredible. It was smaller than we thought which makes me nervous since we have a guest list of 150+ people but it’s just perfect for the wedding we have in mind.
Anyways, for our day of wedding errands I decided to do something different and mix prints. I paired a super cute striped shirt dress with a leopard belt along with my favorite new Shore Projects watch and new flats. Mixing prints can be tricky but the key is having the right color combo and you can pull off any look.
How to Style a Striped Shirt Dress
As a busy mom, having a timeless, go-to wardrobe makes getting dressed so much easier. A striped shirt dress is one of those must-have staple pieces that combines style, comfort, and versatility—perfect for moms on the go, work-from-home mamas, or stay-at-home moms who want to look put-together without the fuss. Whether you’re running errands, hopping on a Zoom call, or heading to a school pickup, a striped shirt dress can be styled effortlessly. Here’s how to make the most of your striped shirt dress and create stylish outfits for every occasion.
1. Keep it casual for everyday wear
For moms juggling a million things, comfort is key. A striped shirt dress is an easy throw-on-and-go option that still makes you feel stylish. A single piece like a striped shirt dress is perfect for mom especially when I’m in a hurry. I love to pair it with sneakers and a crossbody bag. You can even throw on a denim or cropped jacket for a polished, laid back look. Cotton or linen-blend dresses are a must. They’re breathable and easy to move in. So perfect for chasing after little ones!

2. Elevate your work from home look with a striped shirt dress
If you’re a work-from-home mom, looking put-together (even if it’s just from the waist up) can help boost productivity and confidence. I love to cinch my waist with a belt to give the dress more shape. Comfy flats or loafers are perfect if you have to run out for some errands. Keep a blazer or cardigan on hand just in case you need to hop on a quick video call.
3. Dress it up for a mom’s night out
I love a good mom’s night out. One thing I struggle with sometimes is figuring out to wear. With a striped shirt dress in my closet, I know I’ve got an easy and effortless look waiting on me. A striped shirt dress can easily transition from daytime to evening with the right accessories.
Swap your sneakers for ankle boots or strappy heels depending on the weather. Next, layer it with some jewelry and grab a bag to compliment the look. If you’re nursing, opt for shirt dress with buttons.
4. Keep it simple for playdates and errands
Whether you’re heading to the playground or a coffee date with other moms, you can keep your look comfy yet stylish. I try to always choose a dress with pockets. The more space I have for snacks, keys and my kids things – the better. You can style the dress with leggings for cold weather days, layer with an oversized cardigan for a more cozy feel and complete the look with some ballet flats. If ballet flats aren’t your thing, go for sneakers or loafers.
5. Make it work for every season
A striped shirt dress isn’t just for spring and summer. It’s a year-round essential. I love a good neutral toned striped dress. You can style it throughout the seasons. Of course if color is your thing, you can make that work too.
Mom life is busy but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your personal style. Finding your style as a mom is tricky but adding essentials to your wardrobe little by little is key. A striped shirt dress is the ultimate casual mom outfit. It’s perfect for those moms who want to look chic without spending too much time planning outfits. It’s versatile, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish. By mixing and matching accessories and layers, you can wear it in multiple ways, making it a smart investment for your timeless wardrobe.
