From June to September, we live basically in Summer dresses from white maxis to floral-print midis and silhouettes with ruffled sleeves. During the day, these seasonal silhouettes make for an effortless and breezy outfit with comfortable and practical accessories like flat sandals, roomy tote bags, sunglasses, and hats.
