The perfect occasion dress can be vexingly hard to find, but Felipe Oliviera Baptista‘s mini dress might just be it. A gorgeous silhouette comes in a mini peplum over a fitted stretch jersey skirt. While a full skirt keeps the mood light (and not slutty), the side stripe details and defined white belt offer an artistic touch. Sexy, flirty, cute, and surprising, it’s got all your party bases covered. Wear it to casual events when you need to make it known you’re serious about style and to formal affairs because you’re too cool to be seen in a silly prom dress. No, you are polished and statuesque – a dangerous combination that’s made ultra-approachable thanks to the right dose of sass. At Brown’s Fashion for $1,962.
Pair with: A black peep-toe sling-back pump is the way to go when it comes to cocktail dressing, especially if that pump involves Giuseppe Zanotti, stingray, and a shockingly reasonable price tag. Giuseppe Zanotti Stingray Slingback Pumps, $595.
