OOTD from Marie France Asia: Formal-to-casual transition
This DVF Kora dress can take you from a dinner party tonight to some errands the next day in a jiffy.
You get the best of both worlds when you invest in an evening dress that’s in a daytime-appropriate silhouette. With this Diane Von Furstenberg piece we found, wearing it for a dinner party at night and switching it up for a day of errands the next morning is easy peasy.
It’s all in the shape – the straight, shift-dress cut that the Kora dress is in makes it very suitable as a day dress, despite the gunmetal embellishments and dark shade.
This time, we’re pairing it with suede ankle boots by Isabel Marant to give it that festival-goer flair. A printed Saint Laurent scarf complements the tan colour of the boots while giving the look an indie feel. An unexpected colour like teal for your bag is exactly the surprise element you should have in a casual ensemble, matching it with rhinestone earrings for that added daytime glitz. Strap on a classic leather watch and put on some minimal makeup for the ultimate fresh-faced finish, and you’re ready for the day.
