Have I talked you into Quince yet? If not, I’ve got a little try on for you! I’ve pulled 7 essentials for summer, lots of linen and cotton, too! Perfect for the heat.

I’m in a tumultuous relationship with my strapless bra; I need her wayyyy more than she needs me, and she knows it. And while I don’t *love* wearing one, I find them absolutely necessary for my hot girl summer vibe. I have a few strapless tops and dresses that just need a strapless bra to live. I don’t have so many that wearing a strapless bra is frequent but enough that it is essential. (This is the one I live and die by, highly recommend and she lasts literally decades.)

I say all of this because I went and bought a strapless top. As much as I hate a strapless bra, I love the chicness of a strapless top ESPECIALLY this one. This is a linen top with a band of elastic right under the armpits that goes all the way around into a smocking in the back. That’s it — that’s all that’s holding it up but it seems pretty sturdy for my everyday wear. Like I can’t go play basketball in this top but like why would I in the first place. But I CAN do a wine tasting in this top and that I will.

I sized up to a large — I don’t know if I’d suggest a size up but if you want a longer length, go for it! Find it under $40 here!

I ripped the tags right off of this baby and wore her that night! This one is a 100% yes from me. LOVE this one! Highly recommend this dress. 100% cotton and it is an eyelet on the straps and each tier. The top is smocked and very roomy. I went with the large because I was nervous about the bust. It’s slightly big but I like the fit. I would suggest a size up only for boobs. This dress I fully lined, as well. Super nice quality! It looks like some sizes are pre-order for early June, but that would still be okay for summer wear! 

Shop it in a few hues here! 

These are two different pieces – let’s talk about the skirt first! This is a poplin skirt with an eyelet bottom / trim. It fits perfectly; I am in the medium and it’s not too loose, not too tight. Real goldilocks moment here. There aren’t pockets :/ but otherwise it’s perfect. Fully lined too!

Highly highly recommend this linen top! THIS is exqactly what I was looking for this summer. It’s a 100% linen top, nice and cool, not too thick but not thin or sheer. I am in the large because I wanted it to fit loose / oversized and I never know with washing/drying. If you like this fit I’d suggest a size up as well. 

Shop the top!

Do you remember those blouses from Madewell that we– or at least I was — obsessed with for like 5 years? I can’t remember what they were called (the Camp?) but basically this shirt is the exact same. It felt like coming home putting this top on. I forgot how much I love this shape on a top! It’s loose / relaxed on the bodice but the sleeves are a touch more fitted. It’s super flattering and comfortable. I am in the medium, fit is nice but if you want more chest room go up one size.

Here is the top again! This time with poplin shorts which are just almost sold out :/ which is a shame because I 100/10 recommend them! I couldn’t get them in a medium so I went with the large and I actually love the fit. I think they run slightly smaller, but relaxed overall. They aren’t like boxer shorts at all, they’re a nice tailored poplin that almost flares out a little, but in a cute way. I’d say TTS, but if you’d like a bit more room go up one size. 

Shop the shorts here.

This dress is a great dupe or alternative for Reformation. It looks / feels like a Ref dress. It’s 100% silk with I believe a silk liner. It has a zipper on the side which makes it nicely fitted. I am in the medium – I truly believe I need a large for the bust. Yes they fit in there but it is at maximum capacity. If you have bigger boobs, go up a size. If not, it fits great! comes in other colors too.
