This past weekend, I attended the Beauty & The Beast exhibit at Casa Loma so, it was only fitting I put together a look for a modern-day, fashion-forward Belle.

For this look, I went for a layered approach that’s dressy enough for the office yet laid back enough for an afternoon of gallivanting through a castle (and waiting in long lineups, apparently). I love the pinafore style of this little number, but what really sold me was the shiny fabric and metallic detail.

Paired with a simple pinstripe collared shirt, double-flap bag and ankle boots, this outfit is so simple.

Now, here’s a little peek inside the exhibit in case you missed it!

The library ceiling is dressed to the nines with stunning chandeliers and intricate mouldings.

Emma Watson wore this dress in the film!
