the perfect little black linen dress

I am always in search for the perfect black linen dress for summer. It seems like that is such a simple thing to find. Yet sometimes, it takes me a forever. Never fear, I just found the perfect one. And it works with heels or flats. Bonus!

This little J. Crew black linen dress (on SALE – 40% off) is perfect for casual dinner, running around town or a beach vacation. I love that it pairs well with these lace up espadrilles (old, but similar here) or my favorite Tkees flip-flops. Add a hat and this cute monogrammed tote and you have a complete look. It’s super comfy and I could live in it. You know, it’s one of those dresses that if you have a big meal no one will notice.

My look – Dress: J. Crew (40% off with code SHOPFAST) / Shoes: Espadrilles (old) but I love these from Nordstrom; Tkees for a flat shoe option / Hat: J. Crew / Necklace: J. Crew / Tote: Barrington Gifts c/o / Sunglasses: Maui Joe at Nordstrom /  Gold Ring and Earrings: Stephanie Kantis  / Lips: Tom Ford in Spanish Pink

By the way, I am super excited about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that starts on July 17th. Fortunately, I have early access and will be shopping this sale tomorrow on July 9th. Why am I so excited about this sale? It’s the one time they put the upcoming fall merchandise on a temporary sale. Prices revert back to normal as soon as the sale is over. It’s like getting the early bird special. Of course, I will report my findings immediately.

Don’t you love the black linen dress and monogrammed tote?  xoxo- Tanya
