"    When you have access to a designer as crazy talented as Zac Posen, you obviously ask him to virtually edit your closet. Here&amp;#039;s Zac&amp;#039;s advice on what to toss and what to buy this summer. &amp;quot;Dresses with cut-outs are out\u2014over exposure is dead,&amp;quot; says Posen. &amp;quot;This summer, I&amp;#039;m loving great knit dressing, either with a flippy bottom or midi length. [This style] isn&amp;#039;t too hot and you can throw it on and wear it anywhere.&amp;quot;     &amp;quot;Grungy, hole-filled, stretched-out vintage tees are out, too. The &amp;quot;gutter girl&amp;quot; needs to become the girl in the movie Breathless [French chic],&amp;quot; he says. Posen suggests replacing a tattered tee with a boatneck relaxed or fitted shirt, like the one above.    &amp;quot;Too-short shorts have also had their moment,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re out of Daisy Duke time. [Instead,] try on a flared mini with boy shorts underneath [to avoid a Marilyn Monroe moment] and pair it with a men&amp;#039;s shirt.&amp;quot;    What to toss when it comes to your purse? &amp;quot;Oversized bags are out,&amp;quot; says Posen. &amp;quot;They don&amp;#039;t transition from day to night. The thing to invest in for summer are day statement bags [that can go from desk to date easily].&amp;quot; Try his Z Spoke by Zac Posen Eartha Top Handle, $350, zappos.com.    And for shoes: &amp;quot;One thing we&amp;#039;re noticing on Project Runway is that the Minnie Mouse shoe [aka platform wedge] is out, and the almond-toe pump or strappy sandal, like ones from Aquazurra or Saint Laurent [shown above], is back for evening,&amp;quot; he adds. &amp;quot;And for daytime, jellies are in, especially in color\u2014I prefer them over flip-flops, or as I call them: the big toe wedgie.&amp;quot;  Photo credit: Courtesy Image "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
