i remember when i was much younger, i always inexplicably hated linen. but never say never because over the past couple of years, i’ve suddenly come to appreciate the natural, woven fiber and the way it wrinkles up from wear. and i especially love how comfortable and breathable it is on a super hot summer day. i’ve been wearing a lot of this stuff lately and just playing around with different accessories, like this cute vintage purse i found at the thrift store. it’s my little statement piece that does all the work so i don’t have to worry about fussy clothes. it’s a pretty big shift in my style because once upon a time, i would opt for statement dresses to pair with really classic accessories. and now i’m basically doing the exact opposite!

I couldn’t agree with you more. I have come to love the texture and drape of softly crumpled linen. And it’s true that even lightweight cotton can’t beat linen for seriously hot weather survival. It breathes so well! (I think my conversion came from watching several movies featuring beautiful Edwardian linen costuming within a few weeks of each other…”The Mummy” was one, Rachel Weiss’s costumes were wonderful, then there was “A Room With A View” and also “A Passage To India”–oh that beautiful linen in the shimmering heat, amazing.) You look great!
Ahh I adore the bright bag against the neutrals! So good!
Love this whole look, too, especially the bag! Happy Friday and much love to your blog. :-)
All linen outfit is so cool. This fabric is just perfect for summer wears.
