Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula

For a day out, start with your favorite straight-leg jeans (cuff them once), a crisp white linen shirt, and tuck in just the front. Layer a lightweight knit over your shoulders—a classic French-girl move—and let the booties add the charm. Carry a structured leather tote to keep things grounded. This is my go-to for a weekend market or a casual lunch with friends.

As the sun sets, swap the knit for a slinky camisole, add a tailored blazer, and switch the tote for a mini shoulder bag. The booties transition effortlessly from day to evening because the print is playful but the silhouette is sleek. Finish with a swipe of bold lipstick and you’re ready for drinks or a gallery opening.
