Where do you turn if you need something to wear for a job interview tomorrow and you have limited funds? I can usually find something at Express to fit the bill. The brand is turning 30 years old this year, and they are throwing an awesome party to celebrate!

The party will be here in NYC next week, and Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick will be hosting it with Vogue (Is my invitation in the mail? Please??) Since most of us probably won’t be going to the party, I’ve pulled together a few of my favorite Express pieces for summer!

I love the vibrant pattern on this cute ruffled top! Summer is all about color and carefree pieces like this.

Express has some of the most comfortable dress pants EVER. The tailored cropped styles that they carry are perfect for summer occasions that require a little more polish than cutoffs and a t-shirt!

I’ve been increasingly impressed with the selection of accessories and jewelry that they’ve carried lately, and I think that this beaded headband would look spectacular with a simple white maxi dress.
