Dress: Forever 21 Striped Shirt Dress
Shoes: Steve Madden (similar here, here)
Bag: Coach (similar here)
This Forever 21 striped shirt dress was a little big on me and swamped my figure (#petiteproblems), but for less than $25, I had to snatch it up! I actually have a lot of trouble buying shirt dresses since they’re typically loose and not flattering on me. However, I just say “put a belt on it!” Cinching your waist to make a dress more fitting is a simple solution and makes it easier for us petite girls to shop! By the way, aren’t the cherry blossoms so pretty during this time of year?

That dress looks perfect on you now that you belted it though! The cherry blossoms are gorgeous too – I can't wait for them to bloom in dc.

Let's trade, they always look too short on me and like I wore my nightshirt out in public haha. Love how this looks belted with the booties!

My kind of dress. I seriously have something similar, although mine was more fitting and the sleeves are long.
I like your shoes! 🙂

What a lovely dress, you look so great :)))
Amazing booties…

Shirt dresses have always terrified me because they make me appear so shapeless. The belt is such a basic, but brilliant idea. Love the look 🙂

what a score on that striped dress!! 😀 love the way you styled it with the boots and belt!! 😀

Perfect solution. I actually prefer shirt dresses belted anyway. Unless they're specifically tailored then they just look really odd. Doesn't matter how fabulous your style is too.

I love this shirt dress! The striped pattern is very cute and it looks great with those gray booties. I have a similar problem when it comes to loose dresses myself, since I'm also petite, and wearing a belt around my waist always solves the problem.

I totally know what you mean!! Oversized dresses are not always the best for my height either haha. I love how you styled yours! It looks so cute!

Looks so good on you! I've been looking for a shirt dress for some time now, but I just couldn't seem to find one that fitted me well. I'll put a belt on them, and see if that works out for me! Thank you for this post.

You can never go wrong with a little bit of stripes! I like how casual and laid-back this is but super stylish when you add the boots, belt, and bags. Looking beautiful, as always, Tina 🙂
You look amazing! The belt is definately a great way to style the dress up!

I never would have guessed this dress was big on you. The belt totally worked and I love the look! It's true though. Finding the right shirt dress can be so tricky. I have been on the hunt for the right white one for what feels like ages. Those cherry blossoms are so gorgeous!

Great idea to belt it- now it's perfect! Love the little slouch effect. The suede Chelsea boots were a killer choice, too!

I'm a belt friend too, and the loose dresses look so much more flattering with a belt.

That is such a lovely shirt dress on you! I'm glad you kept it, as it looks nice belted! I have a really perfect Zara shirt dress and I've never found another one similar to it – it looks good with or without a belt. I'm always looking for more dresses like it, no luck so far!

Nothing like a cinched waist to make a baggy dress fit perfectly! Super jealous of your flowering trees!

Yes, they are Tina! I love traveling to Washington DC during this time of the year just to see the pretty Cherry Blossoms trees. The dress looks really good on you and using a belt over your waist was a great idea. Wide waist belts are super IN this season and I can't wait to wear the ones I own over all my oversized shirt dresses and tops. You look super pretty as always. Have an amazing week! XOXO, Jeannette
