Essential # 2: The Sequined Pant: Bound to be the cornerstone of any outrageous outfit. Some might say they're impractical, but we see this fabulous piece as one you'll hang on to forever. Dress down with a tank, like Natalie did, or dress up with a silky top.
ADAM Sequined Pants, $445, available at Revolve Clothing .

Essential # 3: Suede Shoes: Something that we'd normally wear to work proves to be surprisingly versatile and works as an after-hours pump as well. A low heel ensures you won't be limping home after the party.

Essential # 4: The Tan Clutch: A detachable strap means this clutch doubles as shoulder bag, perfect when you want to keep your hands free to hold your drinks or take that cutie's number.

So both of my boys, -my husband and son-, are counting down the days until summer. One is a teacher and the other is a 3 year old daycare student. These two cannot WAIT to splash around the water together and fish til dark. I, on the otherhand, have to work. Oh, how I miss summers off. I thought finding the perfect summer day outfit would make me feel better.

I love a good deal. I am one of those shoppers going to the sale racks or trying to find the best deal in the store. Forever 21, I don't shop there much, but I think I might now that Rory Beca has collaborated and put in some great pieces for under $30.00. She said while living in Venice Beach she wanted to design some great pieces for the working woman but she also added some chic to it. Check out some of these great pieces.
