The dress is called a "shift," as if it were one of those adorable sleeveless black dresses that you would wear with a strand of pearls and elbow-length black gloves.

Ha.

The V-Neck Shift by Norma Kamali Everlast is a sleeveless dress alright, but you certainly wouldn't want to wear it to breakfast at Tiffany's. It's a comfortably casual sweatshirt dress that's perfect for stumbling to brunch at the corner cafe as well as shooting from store to store to do your Holiday shopping. The dress comes in a light heather grey and the indigo shown, features a hood, zip front, tight knit, and falls about 33" to mid-thigh.

Norma Kamali Everlast's V-neck Shift Dress is $225 at Nordstrom.
