I have just bought a full length white dress in cotton lawn! But reassure me now folks that I'm not alone in donning an all-white outfit and then getting a mark on it. It does tend to put me off wearing white which is crazy as most summer clothes are washable.

Yes, it happens to all of us. As long as it’s washable!

I always find summer dressing so hard! I was slowly compiling my summer wardrobe checklist and this article of yours is so handy! Thank you so much Jolian, I adore your way of making things so simple even when they are not (at least to me ahah)

Hi Giulia, thank you! I’m living the simple life right now and loving it. That’s what summer should be all about.

I bought a white dress for my (9 mos post partum) daughter for Mother's Day... the GAP had some very reasonably priced white linen (&black) --- Do you take a travel iron? what kind ? I love the look of linen except the wrinkles ...

Hi Deborah, I never take a travel iron. Instead I embrace the rumpled look! I aso hang dry or dry flat which reduces wrinkling.

Thanks Jolain. I love this simple summer edit. I'm just back from France and bought a few things at COS. For your readers traveling in Europe, COS is less expensive there, especially after the VAT refund.

I really like the Me + Em blouse you recommended. Not too much volume.

Have fun. We are loving your posts.

Hi Diane, Thanks for the tip! I have to keep my eyes out for a COS here in Spain. I’m in love with the orange dress!

Fantastic curation of summer pieces! I am always on the look out for a good summer dress and comfortable shoes for work since I don’t do open toe to the office. I am also struggling to find a really functional yet beautiful crossbody.

Thanks Kristen. Are espadrilles too casual for your office? I also like Martiniano soft leather flats and pumps. For a good cross body I like Savette lately and DeMellier.

I can wear espadrilles! And I totally forgot about Martiniano. Thank you for crossbody recs! Will check those out.

Hope it's not too late! I haven't pulled the trigger yet either because I'm moving around and don't know where to send it.
