Dresses for Now & Later

This is one of those perfect dresses.

Alice + Olivia
Patent Band Mod Shift Dress; $330 at shopbop.com

It is body-conscious but fashion-forward. It is black but not basic. It is short but not revealing. It is demure but not conservative. Neither have I failed to notice that it is the perfect transitional piece; with tights, patent pumps (maybe in a bright color, รก la Proenza), and a peacoat, you have exceptional winter wear; with bare legs, some nude peep-toes, and a sleek set of lucite bracelets you have the chic downtown spring look.
