I’ve never been good at math but trust me, these numbers add up and they will for you too. My semi-sheer metallic knit top and skirt, Zara (on sale now), are 2 items that I will get a lot of wear out of. The silver and gold combo on these very basic garments make for effortless styling. We can layer-up our jewelry, mix our metals, and bring in a few pops of colour. My accessories include a vintage metal snake belt, Whiting & Davis, that I’m using as a necklace, a tricolor Trinity bangle, Cartier, a turquoise and gold bangle and a pair of diamond and rose gold hoop earrings.

My pewter leather, YSL, sandals bring another metal into the mix, but their gold hardware keeps them from being the, odd item out.  A vintage mesh chain bag, Whiting & Davis, completes this evening’s look. Now, back to math…I’m able to utilize both the top and skirt as, stand alone, garments that I’ve styled over swimsuits. That silver top becomes a dress over an off-white bikini, Vitamin A. With sheer garments trending, your swimsuit, (both one and 2-piece), become the perfect layering items. If you’re uncomfortable with that, a body shaper is also a perfect option. I’ve styled my all-silver look with a 1920’s style beaded cap, Babeyond, from Amazon, a beaded bag, vintage, and a pair of silver metallic dress sandals, Nine West, and a dazzling cz ankle bracelet, Malinda Maria, for some extra sparkle. 



The gold skirt transforms into a strapless dress with a black high-waist 2-pc bathing suit, Spanx, under it. I’ve styled it with a gold chain link vintage watch, Omega, and a red satin bag, vintage. I’m using satin because it’s a reflective fabric and the red brings that pop of colour. The gold rapper chains, Amazon, add some fun and funk, as do my vintage pink and green drop earrings. The look comes together and says, evening, with a LA Story: 1+1=3
