I love to invest in pieces that are not only stylish, unique, and well-made but that also have mileage. What I mean by that is I look for pieces I will wear more than once, are versatile, and can work for an array of different events or functions. Summer is a fun time for style and fashion, and I have three must-have options for your warm-weather wardrobe.

Tora Cotton Dress by Derek Lam:

This cotton dress by Derek Lam is so fun, and I love the color; it immediately gives an energetic feel. It's the perfect summertime dress for any daytime event, whether a casual outing, brunch, travel, and beyond. The silhouette is full, yet the fabric is lightweight, making it an excellent piece for summer. I paired it with a classic raffia Valentino tote, Carla Shaw gold hardware, and a sexy pair of ankle-wrap espadrilles - so comfortable and chic.

Bait Cotton Poplin Dress by STAUD:

STAUD is such an incredible designer to watch right now, particularly their dresses! I love the sleek look of this cotton poplin midi-dress with minimalist-style tailoring for a little edge. It's a lightweight, body-hugging dress with an a-line skirt, making it a flattering piece that is great for all body types - this dress is also TTS. I added some luxury with my favorite Dior Signature sunnies for a bit of glamour and a versatile brown platform sandal for height.

Rhythmic Picnic Dress by Zimmerman

The grand finale…. Inevitably there will be more significant events like weddings, celebratory parties, and soirees for us this summer, and the Rhythmic Picnic dress by Zimmerman is the perfect piece to pull out for any of them. The floral print is inherent to the brand, and it gives effortless elegance with a little sexy and lots of feminine vibes. I love the mix of colors and delicate details of the thin straps and tailored bodice with the midi-length skirt. To elevate the look, I finished with white Gianvitto Rossi sandals, another closet must-have with great mileage. Take your regular size in both.
