this is actually one of the outfits that i wore while i was on vacation in hawaii, but i never managed to snap a picture of myself wearing it while i was there! so yesterday, when i saw the sun shining outside, i pulled on this easy linen dress and took it for another spin. it’s one of those dresses that i don’t think i would ordinarily wear– it’s decidedly ladylike and much more mature than my usual girlish garb– but after having seen the sturdy linen fabric and well-constructed lines, i decided that it was just too nice to pass up. and definitely the type of thing to bring on a tropical vacation.
i’ve actually been a bit obsessed with linen this summer. i think i’ve mentioned it before, but it has always been one of those fabrics that i sort of hated because it gets wrinkled so easily. but then i realized that part of it’s charm is that it does get wrinkly. it’s supposed to be that way! i like that i don’t have to iron it and i can sort of just let it do it’s thing. it’s got this perfectly easy quality that’s pretty much the epitome of summer casual.

I really love this dress, plus that shade of lipstick you have on goes great with it!
So in love with the colours of that dress. Pale blue looks great with a slight tan.
I’ve been swooning over this dress eversince I first saw it on modcloth and I don’t know if you wore it on here before or if my imagination was running away with me but I sort of thought how great that would look on you.
I’ll add clairvoyance to my resume right about now ;)
That dress just screams YOU :) Love those soft colours.

I love this dress, Erin! Great shoes also. Such pretty colours, reminds me of the sea xx
Lovee your dress ♥ It has gorgeous colours!
I love the minty tones. Everything looks really clean and fresh. You are positively glowing here!
So cute! Is that a new tattoo?
nope! it’s just in a sneaky place, so i think it usually doesn’t show!
I agree that your lipstick compliments the dress, great summer pallet. There is something quite nice about perfectly wrinkled linen on a hot day. :)
What a perfect summer’s outfit! The slick of coral lipstick is the perfect finishing touch.
such pretty colors, love!!
So cute. I love the pattern on the dress.
you always have gorgeous outfit pictues, and the dress is pretty tooo!!
beautiful! what shade and brand is the lipstick? – i LOVE it!! (and your blog;)
there’s a link to the lipstick in the post! it’s ysl fard a levres rouge pur in rosy coral! one of my favorites this summer!
yeah thanks, I was just fixing to retrieve my question! hah
hehe, no worries! ;)
oh what a great dress and photos at all!
Ohhhh I love this dress, it’s been on my modcloth wish list forever but I was worried the waist might be too low/long on me as I am short. It looks absolutely fabulous on you, and I love how you’ve made it “yours” with the blue sandals x
yes, you’re right! it is big in the waist, so i altered mine to fit! and i do find the torso to be sliiightly long, but not too bad. i’m 5’5″ to give you an idea. it really is a lovely dress and well worth it even with the alterations!
It suits you!
This is one of those “feel good” dresses and I like it! Looks pretty on you!

It’s such a beautifully cool and fresh look, makes me wanna buy a plane ticket to someplace nice and not like frisco just for one nice sunny stroll haha and cute shoes~

I really love that dress! The colors are lovely and it looks so nice and light!
WOW, I really like that dress, you look gorgeous in it! (:
Gorgeous outfit! I definately need to get some Ava wedges in blue. I’m now a kork-ease convert after discovering them via your blog. I must say that they are the most comfortable platforms I’ve ever owned, totally worth the postage costs to Australia.

Great dress. Very forgiving. Would hide alot of my flaws. If I’d seen it in your closet and knew you were wearing it so infrequently, I’d snatch it up. With the heat wav we’re experiencing, I’d wear that dress as much as I could.
u look absolutely adorable in this dress. love the dress and your styling :)
I think this is my absolute favourite look of yours. SO pretty! And colourful! And summery.
Such a cute outfit! Love the stripes on the linen dress. Lovely summery bag!
you are just too cute!
This dress is so pretty, the different shades of blue really suit you !
Oh I love this outfit, so very much! The colours, the lightness – you are quite right to love linen! It looks so airy and floaty and light. Especially the colours and stripes :)
