    Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.

    I'm definitely guilty of taking about an hour to find the perfect outfit every morning. Though the process of piecing together the right separates can be very satisfying, I'm starting to garner a reputation as the (fashionably) late friend and co-worker. In an attempt to nip this pesky habit, I'm challenging myself to workshop a week's worth of chic summer looks so my mornings feel less rushed and more enjoyable. Whether I'm heading into the office on a Tuesday, grabbing Friday night cocktails with my girlfriends, or running Sunday errands, all the items below will ensure I'm fully prepared for any day of the week. (I even got ahead of myself and included a beauty pick to complement each look.) Here's what I came up with.

    Monday

    Amelia Knit Top

    Reformation Amelia Knit Top
    $98 AT REFORMATION

    This elegant top is undeniably comfortable and will help ease me into the workweek. The lemongrass colorway feels so summery, too.

    Lucca Leather Slide Sandal

    The squared toe is my favorite detail of these cute summer slides.

    Kara Yoo Yona Collar
    $180 AT KARA YOO

    Gemstone necklaces are an easy way to subtly elevate any look. The dark blue tiger's eye makes a chic statement.

    Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine

    Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

    This hydrating lip balm adds just the right amount of shine and pigment and will bring this look together.
