Design Inspiration | Project de. V XV

This month I’m inspired by rest and relaxation. Possibly because I don’t have a moment of it in my life right now. When choosing fabric this month, I looked to the comfort of linen sheets and your favorite linen tee that is perfectly worn in, maybe even a little worn out. I took the idea of wrapping up in soft fabrics and translated it into an easy summer dress.

With imperfect textures inspired by soft linen bedding, I incorporated wrapping and undone draping details for a laid back yet refined look. I love the ease of throwing on a sac dress, so I took that idea and added layering details, slits and delicate straps to add more interest and versatility to this style.

I wore this dress to dinner last weekend where we sat outside and watched the city go by as we ate. I kept the styling super simple. Worn with: My favorite Marni mules (similar here) and Elizabeth and James cuff. I also love this dress with flat lace up sandals and an oversized clutch for a picnic in the park.
