June's heatwave has me stripping everything back to the essentials. A white tank, a column skirt, barely-there sandals—it's a return to the understated uniform I've always loved. Nothing feels overworked; in fact, the most polished outfits right now are the ones that look a little undone, a little unfinished, and completely effortless.
