Pure Jill Layered Linen Maxi Dress
And yes, it’s linen … and yes, it wrinkles. I had used the steam refresh setting on my drier and the dress looked just right, but then after riding in the car with my seat belt on, this is the way it looked. I keep reading that the wrinkles are part of the charm of linen! What do you think?
The dress is flattering and this Batik Blue is so pretty (also available in white). I love the crinkled textured top and the crossover effect in the back. Like all J.Jill pieces, it’s high quality and well made. Machine wash cold. Size down one size (this is an XS).
Mixed Stripes Jute Tote Bag
This is the J.Jill Jute Tote. It’s made of all natural fibers with leather wrapping on the handles. I love how hearty it is and I’ve been carrying it every day since I got it. It’s a purse, a tote, a book bag, a beach bag … It feels very rugged like it will last forever (I’ll keep ya posted!).
Compassion Fund Wildflower Pendant Necklace
This necklace is par of J.Jill’s Compassion Fund collection, where parts of the proceeds go to helping women in need. Such a good cause and a pretty mixed metal pendant with a wildflower design.

That is a lovely dress! I like the layered effect. While linen is great for the heat, I don’t have much of it as it wrinkling after spending ages ironing it frustrates me, haha!
Thank you for the link up!
Hope that you are having a lovely week and you have a good weekend ahead of you 🙂

I love linen and even the wrinkling doesn’t bother me. It’s kind of part of the look! This dress is fabulous and those shoes and bag are perfect with it!

I love j. jill. I have their linen shirts in one of every color! You look great in that dress, and it’s a gorgeous color!
There’s a sweet lady at my bible study that works 2 days a week at JJill and several women that shop there. They have such cute things and I love this dress. I am however ANTI-linen…..LOL. Or PRO-lazy and don’t want to have to iron. You look beautiful! Love the bag too and of course those are my fav Jambu shoes. XO

You look lovely in blue 🙂
This summer dress looks very comfy and has a nice color. Great styling. Thanks for hosting the party.
I love how that dress looks like two pieces (but it only one), and the color is so flattering too! Wrinkles don’t bother me, especially on linen—it’s just part of the experience!

I absolutely love this outfit! I am a big fan of linen, but the blue shade is so pretty. No probelm with wrinkles.

Super cute look in front of my favorite restaurant! I agree, no need to fight the linen wrinkles, they just come with the territory! Love you shoes too!
