linen short dress Ayana Open Back Mini in Off White , Cut Out Bust 34 1/2 Linen Mini Dress - Brown

It was a hot and humid day when I met up with my sweetheart Jess in Venice for a quick but fun afterwork shoot

The couples initials were embroidered into the fabric on the train along with bees and thistles for her familys crest and anchors and waves to honor Prince Andrews naval career

This dress is ideal for anyone seeking a sweet yet eye-catching outfit for homecoming or any special occasion

We were all impressed with J.Crews pants offerings, and especially with the J.Crew Broken-In Straight Chino Pant, made from 100% mid-weight cotton

Pearl drops, delicate gold studs, or simple silver pieces work best

If you want to create a more casual look, you could choose flat shoes rather than heels
