Amazingly, it's been nearly two months since we spent a long weekend in Amsterdam.

I said it before, but I'll say it again—I loved this city. It has such a relaxed atmosphere, yet it's still elegant. That goes for so many things—the architecture, the attitudes, the restaurants and even the style. I wore this outfit—a casual, yet elevated look, much like the city itself—for an afternoon of exploring.

When I think of occasionwear, I think clothes that are stiff, maybe a bit boring or subdued, matronly or overly embellished. Not what I want to wear any day of my life. Fortunately, I’ve found a dress that’s playful, bold and actually wearable.

Occasions are usually parties, which are meant to be fun—I think your outfit should make you feel wonderful and ready to partake in it!

Glasses of bubbly, a chance to wear a pretty dress, and an afternoon spent in the sunshine? Polo is my kind of sport - here are seven term to know.
