This LWD ($80) is all I want to wear this summer. It’s sophisticated but sexy in a Marilyn Monroe kind of way, especially with these siren red shades ($128), these pearl-accented flats ($595), and this “pinata” straw bag ($129).
This Lisa Marie Fernandez one-shouldered bathing suit ($430) achieves a similar elegant but sexy vibe. Stunning with this Pucci tote (on sale for $425), these Balenciaga sandals ($535), and this cover-up ($65).
I also think this khaki romper (Tibi, $450 — or check out this very similar variation in dress form from Kate Spade) fits the bill, especially with these Birman sandals ($695) and this Edie Parker clutch (on sale for $647).
A few other accents to mix in: these lace-up ‘drilles ($140) and this monogrammed leather clutch ($188). Maybe with this amazing hat ($430):
Two other pieces to achieve this bombshell-with-brains look:
+This crisp dress ($138) — love it in the white, but the other colors are pretty fun too.
+This belted shirtdress ($88).
