Hafize Ozbudak's sexy gray halter

Like I've mentioned before, gray isn't my favorite shade in the color spectrum. But this Hafize Ozbudak halter, in neutral slate gray, is the perfect blouse to offset all the bright summery colors in my wardrobe right now. Sprinkled throughout with metallic confetti discs for a hint of sparkle, the halter features a key-hole top and delicate ruching. In silk crepe, the top conveys an ethereal quality while remaining trendy (perfect for a Caribbean cruise!) at the same time. The cutout back and ruffles are undeniably sexy if you want to take this out to the dance floor, but if you're hoping to cover up, slip on a shrunken cardigan and call it a night!

Alice + Olivia's day to night halter

During my trip to New York City, I realized the importance of wearing clothes that could slip easily from daytime to nighttime. I would tour the city and go shopping during the day in denim shorts and a blouse, but I wouldn't have time to change before hitting up places like rooftop bar 230Fifth or the club Hiro. That's why I wish I had spotted this Alice + Olivia halter bodysuit earlier! Whether you're strolling through Central Park or perusing the Met, this halter (wear a camisole underneath, of course!) is perfect paired with a shrunken cardigan, shorts and flats. To update the look for night, whip off the camisole (or keep it on, depending on how much skin you feel comfortable baring), exchange the shorts for a skirt (American Apparel's body conscious pencil skirt comes to mind), and accessorize with the appropriate jewelry, preferably some standout pieces from Kimberly Baker. And voila!--you've got an outfit ready for even the swankiest of NYC nightclubs. In simple black or white, Alice + Olivia's halter is a sexy way to dress up or down.
