black dress with chiffon Storm balanced by side waist cutouts and an airy open back Azazie Rue Black Chiffon Bridesmaid

This mini dress is both casual and cute, with a V-neckline that feels subtly sexy and cute button details

If youre going to a wedding where boots are the dress code (jealous of you!), Id suggest wearing a midi dress, whereas if youre tailgating or hitting up a festival, a linen mini or button-front sundress would be perfect

Will try to post pictures when I have the alterations done so I can stand up in the dress

It still needs some adjustments in the bodice, which will require help from a second person, but I am super happy with this purchase

While it does require a certain degree of sophistication above casual wear, smart casual is nowhere near as formal as the business professional style
