Dress code said smart casual. Going to a little lunch, so let's do Bermuda shorts. I've heard these shorts from Ben Roy with this perfect boxy tier from Cos. Because they're both oversized, I wanted to elongate. So I went with a Totem kitten heel, added my Tom Ford sunglasses, and a contrasted clutch, which is comfortable chic, and that is smart casual.
