For those of you that just tuned in, From Grandma with Love is a twice monthly series that is one of my faves! I’m lucky to be the recipient of my Grandmother-in-law’s beautiful wardrobe. She owned so many unique pieces, and I’ve had the MOST FABULOUS time styling it on the blog. It’s a win-win for me because I ADORE vintage and a fun excuse to wear it! This blog series will be every other Friday (alternating with our Chic at Every Age posts).

I was so excited when my MIL gave me this dress set because I have the longer dress in the same woven linen material. This is the perfect Summer version especially since it has a matching cardigan! It’s so hot outside, but the air is always cranked up inside.
THE STYLE Rx: A linen dress will serve you well during Summer! It will keep you cool in the heat as well as looking stylish!
Keeping it classy and classic, I paired it with black/tan and gold accessories. The cream color is a neutral lover’s dream and can easily transition into the Fall! You can never go wrong with neutrals.
If you prefer color, a floral scarf tied around the neck for a face-framing pop would be another fun way to wear it! It would also be fabulous pair with a classic trench coat or army green parka for the Fall!
Do you own any linen dresses? How do you wear them? I own a few (but have shrunk one to the length of a tunic in the wash)!
Happy Friday Friends! I’m so happy it’s Friday! Who isn’t?! My work schedule was shifted this week, and we had lots of doctors appointments in between for Baby MJ and Little M. I’ve started taking one to school while I have the other for the doctor appointment (instead of bringing both to the clinic)! Why didn’t I do it sooner? It’s been so much easier to actually focus on what the doctor is saying! What do y’all have planned for the weekend?

Thanks so much Jodie!!! It’s crazy how so many of these vintage pieces transcend time! That’s what I love about them! That’s also the problem with my overflowing closet – so hard for me to get rid of vintage items because they aren’t made the same nowadays!
That is such a cute set Sam! It’s awesome you have the dress in a longer length too, so special to have one but more so when you have 2!
I love how cool linen can be but I’m not a fan of all the ironing required haha! Any linen items I have bought over the years tend not to last long in my wardrobe!

I know what you mean about the ironing Mica! LOL! That’s why I love this dress set! I hardly see linen woven like this but I also own a J Crew linen cardigan that is very comfy. They should make more woven linen pieces!
