There are certain colors  that can make any piece of clothing look more sophisticated and dressier just because they are that color. You can have two pairs of the same shorts one black and the other gold and automatically the gold pair are going to be easier to make appropriate for a more formal event. Yes you can wear the gold with a tee shirt and sneakers and look completely casual but at the same time if you replace the shirt with a silk tank top and the sneakers with a pair of heels and you immediately look more polished and an easily walk out the door and into a fancy restaurant.

Alice + Olivia Cady Cuff Metallic Shorts are a perfect example of a short that is appropriate for day or night, casual or dressy.

If a gold dress is what you are looking for then the Shoshanna Tuck Detail Strapless Dress is a dress for you. This dress is feminine and delicate with a gold metallic shimmer but is not too dressy that it can not be worn during the day.

The Bec & Bridge Dune Cropped Metallic Sweater is a sweater but is so thin and sheer that it can be worn in the spring and summer over a tank top.

What is better for spring than a Maxi Dress? A gold Maxi Dress of course. The M Missoni Lurex Wave Long Halter Dress has a beautiful racer back detail making this dress a step above all other Maxi Dresses.

The OndadeMar Solid Ruffle Bikini is the perfect way to show off your tan. This bathing suit is ruffled at the top and the bottom and is at the top of my must have list.
