Easy, cute and versatile, this fun polka-dotted skirt promises to be a wardrobe wonder all season long. Slip into it when you want to add just a slightly dressy touch to a simple T-shirt or tank, pair it with a silky blouse or take an offbeat approach with an opposing print. It’s also incredibly comfortable, so you can wear it in lieu of shorts or a dress when you want to change things up a bit. Bonus: the cute pattern is an undeniable classic.$68 at madewell.com

Need a little pick me up of the footwear variety? Then think flowers, which never fail to lift spirits and also make the perfect summer accent. These garden-variety sandals feature low-profile heels, which means they’re perfect for those of you who don’t love ultra-ultra-flat soles, yet don’t want to teeter around all day, either. And who can resist these vibrant prints? In your choice of ballet pink or fuchsia on black, they’re bright, cheerful and ideal to pair with just about every summer ensemble imaginable.
When in doubt, go vintage - Milly vintage, that is. Label designer Michelle Smith’s jewelry collection includes several affordable pieces inspired by styles of decades past, like these lovely pink teardrops. Accented by a bold coral drop at its center, it’s at once sparkling and simple - the perfect recipe for sweet, timeless elegance.
Summer without a white dress is like PB without the J - still good, but made a bit better with that little addition. Thank Aussie label Minkpink for Frida, a glorious little wear-and-go white dress accented by a band of colorful embroidery at its high waist. A flirty little ruffled hem adds a dose of sweet charm, but it’s not so saccharine that you’ll feel like a child. Slip into pretty metallic flats or a pair of wedges and you’ll look and feel cool no matter how steamy it gets out there.
