I have a thing for animal print and while I usually gravitate towards leopard this is my first python piece. In real life I absolutely detest snakes (though not as much as I loathe bats) but I think this print is really fun. While the fabric may look silky it is actually polyester but quite breathable and lightweight plus it is machine washable! And while it does not have any stretch the dress is still moveable thanks to the side slits.
The actual product description from Shopbop suggests that you can dress it up or down, it |goes just as well with low-key sandals as it does with strappy heels” and I would tend to agree as long as they are in the right color palette. I decided to style it with nude, gold, and pearl accessories which you can see below and I have linked all of the items – I particularly love the pearl bobby pain / hair clip number (plus the three pack is only $12!). Check out how I styled this look:
Dress | BB DAKOTA Python Print Long Sleeve Shirtdress
Sunglasses | Marc Jacobs Square Frames Hair Accessory | Kitsch Imitation Pearl Bobby Pins
Necklace | Gorjana Mosaic Coin Necklace. Earrings | Shashi Aurora Earrings
Shoes | Nude Block Heels (Similar, Save) (Similar, Splurge)
Taking a look at these photos the next time I wear it I am definitely going to belt it to give it some contrast – likely with this B-Low The Belt Nadia Belt which I recently picked up.
What do you think of this Python Print Shirtdress?

Like the shoes and the earnings go well with the outfit and show off nicely against your dark hair.
I don’t usually see you in patterns and this one looks good on you.

Bet you could create another whole two looks… first, black tights and heels and a skinny black belt for night time and a long black cardigan with more modest heels for a polished work look.
What a versatile dress you have there!

What a different look for you and it really suits you. Flirty and sexy while being a bit more modest when you are standing still.
Good look Kelly.

You are rocking this dress and those killer high heel sandals. I love wearing lepoard dresses especially in warmer weather. Perfect for a night out or date night.
