Inspired by indie fashion icon Alexa Chung, I went for a less obvious formal occasion- a trip to the theatre.

This look is very off budget for the regular indie kid, however is an example of the style one would aim for.

The oversized silk shirt dress is both relaxed yet sophisticated and requires little effort to style which suits the Indie girl's dress sense. This can be found in emerald green at Topshop Boutique, £95. 

Easily thrown over the top is an oversized blazer by THEORY for £695 at farfetch.com. This adds a certain androgyny to the look which is typical of Indie style. 

A simple statement necklace, £65 '& other stories', brings the outfit into evening wear and the bag, £995.13 by Reed Krakoff its simple and sophisticated too.
