Best Shirtdress EVER

I rarely do dresses, but have been looking for the perfect shirt dress for ages. Most are too flimsy, or short, or don't fit me right. This, however, is what all shirt dresses should be: well fitting, appropriate for work, and not totally dull. Only problem is my sad bow tying skills, but I do love that this dress gives a girl a big sash to play with.

Here's Perfect ShirtDress ($99) in its natural environment:


The third floor dressing rooms in Macy's Herald Square. Broadway side, baby, because this is from Isaac Mizrahi's first Liz Claiborne collection, a spring cornucopia of colors and brightness. Go in depressed and blue, exit lighthearted, carefree, and cured. No, seriously, this is one happy Liz boutique.

Here are more dresses, and tomorrow it's Liz pants (Grey Gardens inspired ensemble), skirts (you've never seen such color), and hot granny tops (nobody does chic, modern granny like Isaac). Liz Claiborne, you have met your match and you must be one happy apparel company.

The denim dress ($119) I'm also obsessed with.































The khaki dress doesn't fit me as well, but don't let that stop you. It's a boxier cut. And check out that fabulous tucked, non-sleevish shoulder.

Isaac in Macy's Tonight

Whew, out of town for a day and I almost miss Isaac at Macy's Herald Square. Well, it's not too too late. Got a tweetbeep alert that Mr. Mizrahi is in the Herald Square store tonight at 6pm to promote his first season at Liz Claiborne. First lucky 50 attendees who spend $150 or more get a free autographed copy of Isaac's book "How to Have Style." Call for reservations: 212-494-4000.

And good timing, as I've got a big bright pink post-it on my computer screen that says "LIZ - MACYS." Have you seen Isaac's collection? Very pretty, well done, Liz Claiborne. This may be a perfect match. I'll visit Macy's this week and post some pictures of clothes IRL on ARG.

I love the ad for this spring collection, on the opening page of the Liz site.
