We are now fully convinced that the strapless column is back in business. And we absolutely die over Sophia's metallic, boxy clutch. Yes, kiss your big, old clutch of yore goodbye for a sleeker version like hers.

The simplicity of Sophia's sophisticated look is perfect for a formal summer event. And so easy to achieve on a budget. Better yet, shop your own closet! Nearly all of us have a strapless dress. And the LWD (little white dress) is the "it" dress for spring/summer. Dust off your old chandelier earrings. Purchase a small, metallic clutch that is boxy in nature. Throw on a pair of your strappiest metallic sandals and you're off! Bet you already had most of these goods and you didn't even know it! Save for a Jacob & Co earring set...
