Summer cocktail party

Picture yourself at your perfect summertime cocktail party. Is there a poolside bar and tiki torches? Or perhaps you imagine yourself at your best friend’s house with party games and retro music. Wherever you’re planning to indulge in a few daiquiris, make sure that you dress the part with fun colors and killer accessories.

A fit-and-flare funky print dress like this one from Alice + Olivia is flattering on any body type and will be sure to turn heads. A flirty bow-detail heel adds just the right amount of visual interest without totally stealing the show. (And they’re block heels, so they’re still easy to walk in after two or three cocktails!) To avoid overloading on same-color accessories, go for a neutral crossbody like this beautiful suede Chloe. It’s perfect for this night out to carry around your lipstick and compact mirror, but also works for the office or running errands. Whatever you do, don’t forget the tiny details. Choose a color in your print that you’d like to highlight, and really make it pop with a fresh mani/pedi in the same color. Essie has hundreds of colors to choose from at the reasonable price of $8.50, so you will always find the perfect match. Which color is your favorite?
