A REVIEW OF TWO TRANSITIONAL PIECES

I don’t know about you, but I am in a full spring/summer wardrobe mindset over here – so I know it can be challenging to consider purchasing any type of cold-weather garments when we’re all craving a bit of sunshine on our skin.

Today I thought I would share how to style just two of the many, many pieces included in the sale for now and for later: the Sally Liquid Jersey Shirtdress (was $120, now $28 $25.20 with code INFS-AMBWAYWARD) and the Dylan Luxe Twill Joggers (was $168, now $38 $34.20 with code INFS-AMBWAYWARD). Although these pieces are seemingly fall/winter items, a few easy swaps and adjustments bring them to the present:

These are just two of the many ways you can style this versatile shirtdress; you could also consider throwing a chunky knit sweater over the buttoned dress in the depths of winter or unbuttoning it to pair with denim and your favorite tank or tee in the fall and spring.

The stretchy, drapey fabric hugs and skims in all the right places, and the buttons along the side allow you to control just how much leg you want to show. It’s also ideal for a WFH lifestyle, because it’s as comfortable as your favorite nightgown.

Pants may not be quite as versatile as a shape-shifting dress, but the cut of a pair of joggers does allow for a bit of play. Instead of going for full-on athleisure, I’ve paired these classic black joggers with a tank and strappy leather sandals for late spring and early fall days, and with a chic sweater and heels for when the temperatures dip a little. Personally, I am drawn to the idea of pairing these slick-yet-sporty pants with my oversized blazer as an unexpected suit.

ABOUT UNIVERSAL STANDARD SIZING

A note on sizing: both items shown are a 3XS and my current measurements are (BWH) 37″-28″-41.5″ and I am 5’4″ tall. According to the size chart, I should take a 2XS in each piece, however, I like the slightly fitted look of the next size down. If it’s your first time ordering, be sure to compare your measurements to Universal Standard’s size chart, as their sizing works a little differently. The brand places size Medium at the average woman’s size, which is size 18. From there, sizes are grades up or down. Check out the chart below to see how this works:
