Get The Look: Bold Summer Layers

Lily Snyder can't get a break. Her husband sleeps with her best friend behind her back, while she continues to work on the marriage and create a family again. As her troubles mount in the Holden-Carly saga on "As the World Turns," at least Lily's style stays effortless -- thanks to her love of layering, as seen with this double turquoise and black pants ensemble. It's an easy look for anyone, and great for summer's unpredictable weather.

Start with a tank or camisole as your base for the look. Any color will do, but, in honor of Lily, we'll go with her bold shade of blue. Try American Apparel's reasonably priced Baby Rib Spaghetti Tank in Teal. Then add a breezy button-down shirt in a similar hue, like Theory's "Dervan-Crunch" Campshirt in Whirlpool. For a more affordable top, check out Delia's Camilla Ruffle Shirt in Teal.

As for the pants, black denim is a stylish way to go. If you're a fan of the bootleg cut, Paige Premium Denim's Bootcut Jeans in Black are nice. They're a little pricey, but flattering pants that make your butt look good are priceless.
