nothing screams summer like linen. it’s a fabric both soft and forgiving, if not a bit wrinkly. but if you can look past that imperfection it is perfection. especially if you’re trying to beat the heat. a simple sheath dress is also a go-to item for me when summertime rolls around. in my opinion, tall or short, lean or round, a sheath dress will serve you well, and take you many places during the workweek or preserved for casual weekend wear. add heels, pair it with ballet flats, or don sandals. the choices are unlimited. vibrant summer colors keep the look fresh and clean.

You look lovely in this color!
thanks, pam! it’s one of my favorites, but i think this color would suit most women.
Wonderful dress, I love the softness of fabric and the sweetness of color. The cardigan is cute, its design and its soft lavender tone. The pearl necklace adds a touch of elegance to the whole outfit. I love this look.
This is truly a wonderfully ethereal outfit!! I love linen and I have decided that the wrinkles make it more lived in!! jodie
