altard state blue dress Altar'd Royal Smocked Midi by Altar'd State while the front is finished with a bold floral print. Altar'd State | Adernlia Floral

This outfit is perfect for a formal birthday dinner, a milestone party, or any celebration where going all out feels absolutely right

Step into elegance with the ethereal Wallie Gown, crafted from silver rhinestone mesh fabric that catches the light from every angle for a sparkling, luminous effect

My only comment is to refrain from a black pocket square if it matches the tie too much

Shop: A black denim jacket works great when paired with a leather skirt

A strong color, a dramatic sleeve or cape, a metallic finish or a considered print each count as the single flourish
