This linen shirtdress is not from the Baird McNutt loom.
the j.crew utility shirtdress in linen
I wore this exact dress at least once a week last summer, specifically during that one month where my husband went out of town for work and I managed my family, and my job, and my podcast, and my blog. That is a lot of stuff to manage.
I landed on this dress in this neutral color and black as two of the five dresses in my summer 2025 office uniform and it has never let me down. Not included with the black colorway, this flax colorway arrived with a matching slip. Maybe not the best part, but one of my favorite parts about this dress, is that the slip is not attached to the dress so I can wear it with other dresses that necessity an undergarment.
Do I look unkempt in this dress? Slightly, at the very least. But again, the dress is linen and I have a standing say no to ironing linen policy. It only ever gets rumpled and I have to lean into that.
I am wearing this dress in a size large tall.
the a.emery remly sandals
My A. Emery Pae sandals gathered the majority of my mileage last summer. I kept kicking myself that I did not procure the tan colorway in addition the the black colorway. After I revisited the sandals on the Mona Operandi website, from which I originally purchased them, the Remly style popped up as a recommendation. While they are not the warm tan color I had in mind, the neutral hue will do.
I went up a size from ten in the Pae to an eleven in the Remly.
