a clean slate

There is no look that's more summery-elegant than head-to-white. It's so fresh-looking--and so simple to pull off. The woman, pictured above, looks like she's wearing a basic Hanes t-shirt, tucked, albeit, into a gorgeous asymmetrical skirt. She sticks to a clean, minimalist theme with nude strappy sandals (which also happen to make her legs look like they go on forever.) I am sure you could recreate this look with things you already have in your closet, but if not, here are some summer whites to consider from Ellery Camaraderie (an edgy peplum skirt, no less), Robert Rodriguez and Zara, and for the shoes, these beige Ann Taylor sandals will do the trick.
