I believe two things about clothes: 1.You should enjoy wearing them. 2. They should cover what they are meant to cover. I know that last one is pretty relative, and I can't really explain what it means to me because there are exceptions to all rules... but, I can show you. Here's one example I put together c/o Polyvore for summertime... cute, comfy and reasonably covered. It'd be really nice to own those sandals...
