I have a friend who's always flawlessly dressed and whenever I see her I want to run home and change my outfit (and try again). Such was the case when I visited her last summer at her Sag Harbor home and her breezy tunic and eminently cool rope-accented shorts completely outshone my dress. Now, if I turn up at her house this summer sporting these lovelies, I am certain I will not want to run home and change.
