Summer Essentials

Take 5

Or six. But for basic summer staples, this roundup is practically all you need. A classic pair of shades? Check. A white dress that requires absolutely zero thought process, plus a printed espadrille that adds some color and funk, and a striped tank that goes with everything (and is scooped in the back), done. And since fringe never gets old, these shorts work perfectly during the day with an oversized tee or chambray button down, or dressed up at night with some heels.

Okay, and than we have this necklace (Serefina is kind of on my radar these days). It’s half statement and half subtle, plus it’s under $100 and can be worn around the clock, so there you have it. A mini summer, packable, all day everyday no-fuss closet.
