We are guilty of doing much of our shopping online but when we do head out to pick things up for ourselves or to select gifts for others, we usually make a b-line for The Old Town Alexandria Boutique District. There are so many cute and unique shops that are owned and operated by great people in our community and we love being able to support these hard working individuals.

Shift dresses are perfect to wear during the warmer weather and can easily go from day to night with a quick change of shoes and accessories. Shift dresses have been popular since the 60’s and still are to this day due to their loose fitting and forgiving silhouettes.  Be sure to find one with the right length as some shifts can be unflattering and overwhelming if too long but easily fixed with a simple hem.
