I’d describe this Embroidered Mixed Media Shirtdress from J. Jill as a the epitome of classic effortless style.
Mixed Media?
My first thought when I picked it out was, why is it called “mixed media” … looks like one “media” to me! Lol! But it actually is a mix of fabrics. The back panel and sleeves are cotton jersey to provide stretch and comfort, while the front panel is embroidered linen!
How can I wear it?
I went with a casual look with comfy sandals, but it would certainly look divine more dressed up as well. I also think it would be cute with leggings or cropped jeans! I added the skinny silk scarf, which is also from J. Jill, and comes in blue paisley or this fun striped pattern. The proceeds of this smart little accessory will go to helping women in need. How cool is that? I love when do-gooding and shopping go together!
(And hey, did you notice my pasty white legs look a bit tan? Psst … it’s just one of my fav tricks!)

Can you believe it’s almost May, Dolls? It makes this tired teacher happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Though I have to say, I’ve had especially sweet kids this year and it will be bittersweet to say goodbye.
Have a wonderful weekend, Ladies!
Stay fun & fabulous! The rest of our life is the best of our life!

That looks like THE perfect dress for a summer holiday. Just add shoes and an accessory! I love it, and I adore the little striped scarf. How wonderful that it does some ‘good’ as well! xx
Thanks so much, Lisa!

And thus this dress is the most perfect one for this time!!

Dawn Lucy…I love that dress. Looks great… especially with the nude wedges. Verrry very chic!
This dress is just gorgeous on you. Love those sandals too–comfy works for me! XO Susan http://www.themidlifefashionista.com
I love that this great shirtdress mixes linen and cotton which are the quintessential materials for Summer. That skinny scarf is so cute and I love the wedges. And Grace’s look is super chic, too. Thanks for the linkup my friend. Love your style Dawn Lucy!
Very classic! The scarf is my favorite touch 🙂
I’m liking the idea of the material mix up. Linen can be a bit stiff, so I would imagine this is more comfortable. Looks fabulous! Have a great weekend!

Dawn, Love the white on you and your hair like this. Super cute. Was great seeing you last week. Yay for almost the end of the school year. I think this year is flying by. I cannot believe it either. Love the shirtdress! too Happy weekend.xx Kim
Thanks so much, Sweetheart! Yes, coffee again SOON! OXOX
Oh, you look so pretty in this! I love your hair. I was thinking the same thing about the mixed media – ha!
Ha! Thanks, Jennie! 🙂
I get a slightly retro “Jackie O” vibe off this adorable combo, dearest Dawn…and I LOVE it!! Your new shirtdress is going to be sooo versatile through the spring and summer (how about as the perfect swimsuit cover-up?) and that striped scarf adds just the right touch of colour and pattern!! XOXO P.S. Having some serious hair envy right now!! Did you style it yourself, or were you fresh from the salon?? I ask ’cause I can NEVER manage to do this “undone curls” look for myself…maybe you have some pointers?? 😉
Oh you’re so sweet! I just put my hair haphazardly in hot rollers. I don’t do it too often because in about a half hour, it’s straight again! ;D
I love your dress, it is so cute!
XOXO

Thanks Cathy! 🙂

This is such a great shirt dress! Often they are way too short for me but this one looks just perfect! Do you think it’s too short to wear to work? Thanks!

Hi Virginia! I have the same problem with shirt-dresses being too short. I think the length of this one is good! But if you’d like it a bit longer, you can always order the TALL size! Thanks so much for stopping by the blog! OXOX
Aaaahhhh, J Jill. So light and airy looking! Beautiful! You look great in white for a change fyi.
You look absolutely stunning!
Thanks for linking up with Ageless Style Dawn Lucy!
