Thrifty Wife Happy Life

Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Year of Color- Blue Dress

September 15, 2017 by Katie Haller

Thrifty Wife, Happy Life || Blue shirt dress || Teacher outfit

It’s time for another Year of Color link up!  This month’s color is blue!

 Blue is one of my favorite colors to wear.  Some of my most favorite dresses that I’ve ever worn were blue.  September is my birthday month, and my birthstone, the Sapphire, has always been one of my favorite stones.  For today’s blue look, I picked out this Old Navy Sapphire blue shirt dress.  I love the style of this dress.  I used to wear it all the time at my old job with a business casual dress code, and now I can still style it down with a denim jacket and some flats and wear it to my casual dress code at my current job.  It’s a great teacher dress to wear in the classroom!  It’s also perfect for church.  Another plus about this style of dress is that it’s great for breastfeeding moms, especially if you’re pumping at work.

    Super cute dress! Blue is just about my favorite color – so much so that I need to remind myself to buy some other colors too 🙂
