Good morning and happy Monday, Magpies! I came across a great quote over the weekend: “May, more than any other month of the year, wants us to feel alive.” Amen! To the point of this post, though: the Cosima Nap Dress from Hill House has quickly become my favorite nap dress style and one of my most-reached-for silhouettes. The slightly longer bodice feels fresh, and I love the length. I know a lot of you snagged this style from their latest summer launch (last week! — I picked out this and this) and wanted to share some thoughts on styling, sizing, etc.
HILL HOUSE COSIMA DRESS // J. CREW CARDIGAN // LIZZIE FORTUNATO NECKLACE (OLD, SIMILAR HERE) // FRP COLLECTION BAG // CELINE SUNGLASSES // LISI LERCH EARRINGS (USE CODE JEN20) // K JACQUES X DOEN SANDALS
HILL HOUSE COSIMA DRESS // CELINE SUNGLASSES
HILL HOUSE COSIMA DRESS // HERMES SANDALS // DANS LA MAIN SEAGRASS KELLY BAG
Cosima Sizing Notes.
For context, I’m 5’0 and I find this wears like a maxi dress on me, hitting the top of my foot. I go down a size in it (take an xxs instead of my usual xs) because I find the bodice fits me better — but I am not well-endowed up top so if you are, you might stick with your true size.
I am sitting here wondering if I should have gotten the chocolate gingham. Ahhh! I already own this in three colors; I don’t think I need another…but how good is it?!
THE COSIMA NAP DRESS: APPLE GREEN STRIPE // CHOCOLATE GINGHAM // BLUE STRIPE // CHOCOLATE CIRCULAR LATTICE
Styling the Cosima.
Let me applaud this dress’s versatility: it can be worn with ballet flats and a tote, sneakers and a baseball cap, sandals and a sun hat, or big earrings and a wedge. Here are some of the outfits that suggest themselves to me:
TUCKERNUCK FISH EARRINGS // COSIMA IN STRIPE // SEZANE BAG // LOEFFLER RANDALL SANDALS (MORE SIZES AT NORDSTROM) // MAYAMAR NECKLACES IN PINK AND GREEN
LIZZIE FORTUNATO ROPE CORD NECKLACE // COSIMA IN POMEGRANATE STRIPE // LA LIGNE SWEATER // CLARE VIVIER ROPE TOTE // TKEES X J CREW JELLY T-STRAPS
TUCKERNUCK SEASHELL EARRINGS // COSIMA IN BROWN GINGHAM // ULLA JOHNSON DENIM JACKET // J. CREW TOTE // LOEFFLER RANDALL JELLIES (LOOK FOR LESS — $20! — HERE) // LIZZIE FORTUNATO NECKLACE
COSIMA IN GREEN STRIPE // LOEWE BAG // LIZZIE FORTUNATO NECKLACE // TORY BURCH KIRA SANDALS
P.S. Do you still hang your words in the air?
P.P.S. We are all goddesses of change. And, by the way, if it feels hard, it is hard.
P.P.P.S. The comeback of the jelly sandal.
