What to Wear Poolside This Summer

After all the compliments I received on the beach cover-ups I bought in Morocco, I imported a few dozen directly from Marrakech. I'm sure you've seen similar ones in Scoop NYC ($297!), Nordstroms, Victoria Secret's, etc. The perfect break from a hot day on the beach. On my Bahamas trip I was able to wear this down to the beach, at lunch poolside, and in town shopping. If you get sunburnt, the lightweight cotton doesn't irritate, and prevents your beach bag from chaffing your shoulder. Also, unlike the terrycloth cover-ups, if this gets wet it dries in minutes. Women have been wearing these in Africa's heat for hundreds of years -- who are we to argue with a good thing.
