UMEE’s white resort shorts are obviously a great beach cover-up and easy to wear with tees and flip flops (aka ‘slippers’). Lately I’ve been dressing up these comfy drawstring shorts but still keeping things relaxed. My latest style was to add stripes and dots. This JCrew striped tank paired with the ‘dots’ of my pearl strand where a perfect combo of relaxed and refined. I had some cute polka dot wedges in my closet I picked up years ago in Washington DC to continue with the ‘dots’ theme. A brightly colored clutch gave me a nice pop of color to complete the look. The UMEE resort shorts ($39) are a great foundation to let you comfortably dress up your style while still maintaining your cool.
