Blue & White Summer Dressing

Ultramarine Medallion James Dress

 

I love dressing in blue and white for summer. This dress is a lovely choice. A midi length and a relaxed silhouette for easy summer dressing. 

Meet your new favorite midi — the Ultramarine Medallion James Dress.

Dress it up with heeled sandals and gold hoops or keep it casual with flat sandals and a sun hat! It is cotton and linen and fully lined in 100% cotton.
