The beating sun is on my face and I know it might not always last all day in Florida. I can feel the humidity rising as the short rainfall is about to happen. Whether I’m in Miami, Los Angeles or New York, it’s definitely going to get hot and I know that a great linen or cotton dress will be one of the stylish summer essentials I’ll frequently reach for. These breezy pieces are always a seasonal classic and there are so many great available options to buy now.
Linen always makes me think of hot summer afternoons spent with bubbly in hand, delicious food and great friends on a gorgeous white yacht off the coast, cruising through ocean waves and warm breeze whipping through my unruly hair. I’ll admit that wearing this dress makes me want to meet with my girlfriends in Europe and take a trip along the French Riviera.
If you’re not going on away on vacation, dressing like you are while visiting great spots around the city can always bring your heart one step closer. Linen is trendy every summer, so you can never go wrong with a great breathable dress like this one. Today, I’ve spent part of the day by the water in a very small, yet quaint part of Orlando where there are coral buildings, cobblestones and a place to grab an iced coffee and sit for an hour. The rain fell for about 10 minutes while we were there, but If you learn to dance in the rain as I have, you’ll definitely find yourself in a good mood even when the sky is crying.
This off-the-shoulder linen dress is sold out but I’ve linked it below incase it comes back in stock (and a sizes or two does occasionally), so if you’d like this one, keep checking back. I’m sharing my favourite selection of linen dresses online right now. They are selling out fast, so if you see something don’t think too long since everyone is in ready to jump right into summer. I wore this linen dress with my Gucci mules (seen here), a Vintage Fendi bag, Armani Exchange sunglasses, and some jewelry.Here are my favourites Linen pieces with price points that will work for everyone. Pay attention to the reviews and sizing, as different retailers will fit differently.

I totally second you here, the only fabrics I would chose for my summer dresses are cotton and linen! I regret the times when I chose otherwise in the hot humid weather of Delhi during my teen days! I love how this linen dress fits you at the right places even the muted color adds more chicness to the dress! Digging those thorn detail heels and the earrings!
Hope you are having a fantastic start to this week! 🙂

I NEED that dress in my life! It looks so chic and practical for those summer hot days and for me as mom to a soon to be toddler, easy to move in! I don’t have a linen dress, though I do have some pants and blazers. I just might need to add one to my wardrobe. Dang, I thought I was done with shopping, lol. I hope you have a great weekend ahead, beautiful!
