Linen may be summer’s darling and cotton is a classic, but those aren’t the only fibers that should be in your closet this season. One of my favorite summer fabrics is also one that receives a lot of raised eyebrows: wool. I was generously gifted these pieces from wool&, but as always, all opinions are …
Sharing an unsponsored review of Quince linen tanks, tops, shorts, and pants. Here in the Carolinas, temperatures continue to inch closer to triple digits, and there is little else to do except move slowly and reach for light, breathable layers (and, of course, do our very best to explore the great indoors!).
