There’s something about this dress that made me stop and say—yes, that’s the one. The color, the delicate lace trim, the easy linen fabric… it just feels like summer on the coast. I fell in love with this J.Crew calm blue linen slip dress and knew right away it was going to be one of those pieces I’d wear over and over again. This is the one dress I’m styling three ways (because it deserves a moment).
I’ve always loved finding a good dress that can do it all, and this one is that for me. It’s pretty but not fussy, light and breezy, and works perfectly with the coastal accessories I’ve collected for the summer.
Here are three ways I’d style it for different summer moments—from a date night by the water to a sweet little gathering with family or friends. I think it will be the perfect dress to wear after a day in the sun.
P.S. I rounded up everything you need for a dreamy coastal summer!
The One Dress I’m Styling Three Ways (Because It Deserves a Moment)
Outfit 1: Vacation Dinner Date
I love how this dress pairs with the starfish earrings I’ve been reaching for all season—they’re just the right touch of coastal charm. The hand-knotted bag is a new favorite, and it’s been such a hit with you too! I even got a sweet message from a friend who’s eagerly waiting for hers to arrive. Style it with the seaside charm bracelet and gold sandals for a fun, feel-good outfit that’s perfect for sunny days and breezy evenings.

The oversized hand-knotted straw tote with the little fish charm is the kind of accessory that turns heads in the best way. Finish the look with the bow leather sandals for a sweet outfit that’s perfect for easy summer brunches.
