Helsa Hildie Maxi Dress in Cream from Revolve.com

The asymmetric hem does something interesting to a plain tee and sandals, and it's the reason I keep pulling this out instead of a straight midi. Works as hard with a heel as it does with flip flops.

Raffia bags all start to look the same by July, but the shape here has actual character. Reads like The Row without the resale-market pricing.

Round sunglasses, a handkerchief tied in your hair, and the whole summer is figured out.

The simple throw-on dress that does most of the work for you. Skims instead of clings.
