Gotta Have It: Coated Linen Strapless from Ashley Stewart

I have always been sometime-y about linen. Love it in the summer time, the ideal fabrication for the hot weather over here on the west coast, but I hate it because of how bad it can wrinkle. BUT thanks to technology and innovation, coated linen or a linen blend is amazing.

Case in point?

Coated Linen Strapless from Ashley Stewart

This Coated Linen number from Ashley Stewart has my interest raised to a 10. Coated for a fancier finish and wear, perfect for a summer’s night fete or date night! Coated (I am thinking) to protect the dress from wrinkling as much. For reals.

I mean, while I do like the teal version, the Orange is just so much more special than the others- wouldn’t you agree?

And before you go there, being afraid of the strapless options, yes, you can rock an amazing strapless bra. They do exist! Whether you have $20 or $75, there are a few places you can cop one! You just have to shop around!

I even really like the hemline, ladylike with some sass. Yes, please. And if you are feeling a bit more fancy and conservative, there is a matching cropped coated linen jacket.
Summertime wear to work option or brunch option- maybe?

I would pair with a classic peep toe pump for a more demure look OR amp it up to 100% with a bold contrasting heel! I am thinking hot pink or blue or yellow! I don’t know the possibilities are endless here.

But, I want to know:

How would you rock this? What would you pair this with? Where would you go? How would you take this from day to night?
