Dress c/o XCVI (use code JILL20 for 20% off) | Booties | Similar Jacket | Necklace
Hi friends! How are you doing with our new normal of being homebound? I was supposed to be heading east for my daughter’s sororities mom’s weekend tomorrow. Obviously, that’s been canceled, but on the bright side, I’m so grateful to have her home with us! This is definitely a strange time, but we need to stand strong together and take this day by day. I’m still going to post on Tuesdays and Thursdays and hope that these posts will be a welcome distraction and give you inspiration for when we are able to be out and about again! If there is any content that you would like to see, please let me know!
Do you remember, a few weeks ago, I talked about being a brand ambassador for XCVI and shared an effortless athleisure outfit? The XCVI brand prides itself on being fashion you can live in and designs casual-chic lifestyle pieces that are versatile to take you from work to play. Their mission is all about style and comfort.
Today I’m back again with their Camo Tropical Dress. This dress has to be one of my favorite pieces from this brand. Not only is the tropical camo print unique, but there are also so many interesting details like the high low raw hem and the v-back with lacing. It’s 100% linen (machine washable!) and is going to be the perfect summer dress! But, since it’s still cold here in Chicago, I wanted to show you how to wear it for an early spring look! Use my code JILL20 for 20% XCVI sitewide!
And, if you want more styling options, Chrissy from Granola & Grace also featured this dress on her blog yesterday! If you don’t know Chrissy, she has a fun, attainable style, and her posts are always a delight to read. Make sure to visit her blog to say hello!

I do love that dress and the way you styled it! I am so impressed with the fun styles from XCVI, they look so good and offer so many styling options. I agree we’ll get through this and adjust to the new normal. It is nice to have the college kids home!

That dress is adorable! Off to check out Chrissy, then maybe to get one myself 🙂
That is such a fun dress and I really like that jacket and the boots with it! It’s a shame your trip was cancelled but it’s definitely good to be home with family right now.
Thanks for the link up!
Hope that your week is going well 🙂

Jill, I love the way you styled this. In fact, I could duplicate the style with what I have! Wohoo. And thank you for the kind words. I truly appreciate you. 🙂
Digging the camo dress- the ruffles give it some femme glam and the print is such a utilitarian classic!

Jill, this dress is so fabulous! I was just commenting the same on Chrissy’s post yesterday. I love the camo print and the fun lace up back. And I agree with you completely that we need to stand strong together. I will keep posting on my regular schedule as well. We can all use a healthy and fun distraction!

I have to admit, a camo dress is not something I would usually pick up for myself – but I absolutely love the way you’ve paired it with the jacket and the boots. It looks stunning! I love the details too – especially the lacing.
I don’t think I saw that gorgeous dress on XCVI! It’s super cute! I love the lace up back!
This dress looks amazing with your booties and jacket, Jill!
I hope you have a fabulous week!

This camo looks almost like an abstract floral print. Love the desaturated look. Great style.
What a nice surprise! Thanks Jill! I always love posts were bloggers wear the same but in their own style. It s a fantastic dress!
Hi Jill! I LOVE that dress! The hem and the print are fabulous! Since it is linen you can wear it all summer.

This is such a gorgeous dress, and it really is good for the warmer months.
I hope that you’re staying safe during this coronavirus outbreak, and are feeling well.

A cute style on you, Jill. I like how you added booties and a jacket to make it more wearable before the weather gets warm.
That is very pretty dress Jill 🙂

It’s a beautiful dress and for a minute, I had to do a double take because I thought it was a floral print dress but upon closer look, it’s camo! I adore camo print and they did such a beautiful job incorporating the print to this dress. I love how you styled it with a light colored jacket and shoes. It’s a nice contrast and complements the dress nicely. I hope you guys are staying safe and wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!

I am so sorry you missed out on the sorority mother’s event but glad you have your baby at home. There will be other events, I am sure. I have forgotten what sorority she is in. Were you a sorority girl?
That dress has it all. Fun tropical/camo print. LOVE LOVE LOVE the strappy back. How sassy! And the high-lo hem are flirty, too. You look darling. I notice there is no snow in your pics. Can spring be far behind?
That dress looks great..
Canceling trips and events has been disappointing..we had to cancel our spring break trip. 🙁
Such a pretty dress on you!
