Reader Request: Linen Love

Today's post is for one of my dearest friends, Marisa. She will be traveling to Tanzania for too long (sorry, I'm biased) to change the world with a fantastic organization. One thing you should know about Marisa is that even in Africa, she rocks it. Maxi dresses, headbands, you name it. Today she's asked me to pull some linen button down options for her. I think these will fit the bill for her newest adventure and these options will work for us just as well.

J Crew, Perfect Linen Shirt, $79 and an extra 30% with code SWEET.

I love this emerald color and it comes in a handful of other options. Take advantage of this promo code!

Madewell, Boyshirt in Suntour, $49

Another on sale option that has a great pattern without screaming 'farmer'.

Lord and Taylor, Button Front Linen Shirt, $29

A great chambray option, just please don't button it up all of the way.

Express, Two Pocket Linen Shirt, $24

I love this open neck option and the blush color is a great alternative to white.

Linen is a fantastic option for summer because it is the most breathable material you will find for those hot summer days. Dress up this loose fabric with some bling for work.

Linen Tee

It's tee time lovebugs, and when it's hot and you want something that isn't cotton, turn to linen. It's a great, breathable material that can switch up your usual cotton tee and shorts combination.

J Crew, Linen contrats baseball tee, $29

I'm layering this quiet tee with some baubles, some long necklaces and maybe some chambray tie waist shorts.

Banana Republic, Double layer linen tee, $28

A simple and easy to throw on a go top. This tee also comes in three other colors.

Lacoste, Short roll slubby sleeve linen blend shirt, $50

What a great yellow. This is great for a Saturday picnic or dress it up for the office with a black pencil skirt.

Free People, Jammy Striped Tee, $40

I love the pattern changes in this shirt, the great neckline also adds some drama.

I love linen for summer because it is a great texture change. Just make sure to invest in some dryel to clean these items!

Linen Jackets

Happy Tuesday lovebugs! Here's to a short work week!

Today I thought we would talk about a great way to dress up a casual outfit for work or play but not melt this summer.  Linen jackets.  They offer some structure without the heat.

Talbots, Jackie Jacket, $72

I really like the bell sleeves on this jacket.  I would pair it with a white a-line skirt.

 Forever 21, Cropped Linen Blazer, $28

Fabulous color! Hello black pencil skirt OR jeans!

Limited, Safari jacket, $70

 A little safari pocket makes this casual but sassy.

Nordstrom, Gibson one button blazer, $88

There is something so sleek about this blazer.  The perfect blazer for work, play or a sundress

Are you loving these picks? I really like how cool and comfortable these pieces can be for summertime.
