Maya’s 3-Piece Capsule Formula
For day, I’d throw on a linen shirt, unbuttoned and tied at the waist, over the dress. Add a pair of strappy leather slides, a straw tote, and oversized sunglasses—you’re ready for a farmers’ market or a beach picnic. The shirt doubles as a cover-up or a pillow for impromptu lounging.
As the sun dips, swap the slides for a raffia mule with a small heel, switch the tote for a clutch, and add a silk scarf in your hair. The dress transitions effortlessly, especially if you choose a darker tone like rust or olive. Layer a fine-knit cardigan over your shoulders if the evening cools—it keeps the vibe relaxed and romantic, perfect for a sunset dinner.
