Description from anafiassa: Yesterday, my husband and I went to a matinee performance of the symphony orchestra. Everyone there was fairly laid back, but going up the stairs to the balcony made me think of being dressed in elegance to go to the opera. These picks were inspired by that feeling. (And I challenged myself not to use any pearls, which seem to be my go-to for getting dressed up!)
