I have the following tables:

TABLE A
month   |   year   |   item         |   num
1              2005      myitem         003

TABLE B
num    |   date             |      descr
003         02-01-2005          blahblah
003         01-01-2005          toratora

I am trying to come up with something like:
select date,item,descr from TABLEA a 
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLEB b ON  b.num=a.num
WHERE date=month-01-year;

How can you make month (append) - 01 - (append) year? and
pass that as a condition to the field date? Is this possible?

You can EXTRACT the day of the month from the date. If you need this
to use an index, you can create a functional index.

This works for me :
   WHERE (month||'-01-'||year)::timestamp=date;

Here is my session :
galette=# create table a (month int4, year int4, item varchar(255), num 
int4);
CREATE TABLE
galette=# insert into a values (1,2005,'myitem',3);
INSERT 17296 1
galette=# create table b (num int4, date timestamp, descr varchar(255));
CREATE TABLE
galette=# insert into b values (3,'02-01-2005','blahblah');
INSERT 17299 1
galette=# insert into b values (3,'01-01-2005','toratora');
INSERT 17300 1
galette=# select date,item,descr from a
LEFT OUTER JOIN b ON  b.num=a.num
WHERE (month||'-01-'||year)::timestamp=date;
         date         |  item  |  descr
---------------------+--------+----------
  2005-01-01 00:00:00 | myitem | toratora
