Or, if you're in those electric early dating days, and it is your first time at his_hers_their place (*we will use he from now on - fewer letters - faster writing/reading, but we are inclusive in our mind) and ready to soak in his updates from the F1 or is it WEC?

1 LITTLE BLACK DRESS WITH POINTY FLATS
"Ready for our date night?" he asks, handing you a glass of red wine.
"Wait, I need to put on my new dress," you reply, taking a sip of the wine and rushing to your dressing room while redoing your ponytail..
You slip into a little black dress—the kind that feels polished but still lets you breathe while he checks if the babies are still in their bed before he lets Adele's voice spill from the speaker, low and bruised, as you curl into the couch. "Someone like you…" your husband mouths the words, mocking his own off-key pitch, and you laugh into your wine.
He feeds you a walnut, his fingertips brushing your lips. They taste like caramel and glitz—the fancy ones he insisted on buying.
The music shifts to smooth jazz, a saxophone twirling through the room like smoke, and he leans back, eyes closed, humming. The rain taps the window while you play with the rose petals scatter across the tea table. "Remember that jazz club in Paris?" he asks, and you do: the sticky floors, his hand on your knee under the table, the way the night felt infinite.
The takeout is stuck in traffic, the app says, but you don't mind. The room feels suspended, the outside world muffled by the weight of rain.
You reach for a handful of walnuts from the bowl on the coffee table. "So, what are we planning for our road trip this weekend?" you ask, popping a walnut into your mouth.
He smiles, his eyes twinkling. "I was thinking we could drive down to the coast, spend the day exploring the cliffs, and have a picnic on the beach."
You nod enthusiastically, your mind already filled with images of the crashing waves, the salty air, and the warm sun on your skin, the car packed with formula and hope, the highway empty for once.
Your toes brush his thigh - he is always so warm, and he smiles without looking up, his thumb tracing idle circles on your ankle.
Then the doorbell rings. "Is the food finally here?"
SHOES: Malone Souliers flat mules - I bought mine a while ago - they were part of an exclusive collection and sold out within days. But you can shop for similar Malone Souliers flat mules here. Make sure you size up. I bought mine in size EU36.5 - I went up for half of the size, and I feel they could be slightly bigger. Don't get me wrong, they fit me and they are super comfortable to walk in (they also stretched a little bit - not something I would need as I don't have wide feet), but when I move the camera around, I see the heel looking out more than I would like. I was told that this is the designer's choice, but still, go a half of your size up.
DRESS: mini black knit dress - mine is sold and I found a much better dress for you - perfect for all year long - see here. It’s a wrap dress as well, but you might want to go slow - take time getting out of your dress - and shop for this precious and comfortable piece. And I also need to show you this little black dress (*out of the context, I have just discovered it and it’s just so beautiful). It’s a must buy - and I bought it too.
PERFUME: Chanel N°1 - buy here.
*I paired this simple little black knit dress with pointy flat mules for an at-home dinner date because this combination gives the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The soft, stretchy knit dress (especially in a wrap style - but any knit dress does the trick) creates a flattering silhouette while allowing you complete freedom to move, sit cross-legged, or on the couch after dinner.
The pointy flat mules elevate the look beyond everyday loungewear, signaling to your partner that this night is special, while still being practical for walking around your own home. The pointed toe elongates your legs even without heels, creating a polished look without sacrificing comfort.
2 MINI BUTTER YELLOW DRESS WITH CHERRY CODED KITTEN HEEL SLINGBACKS
The good china glints under the chandelier—the wedding set you swore you’d never save “for special.” The table gleams with your finest dinnerware, the kind you save for moments that deserve a little extra care. Candles flicker gently, and a golden glow shines across the room while the air hums with the rich, comforting scent of a home-cooked dinner.
He pulls out your chair, his eyes staying on you way too long - "Hey, dinner is getting cold." "This dress, wow, you look breathtaking," he says, his voice a low rumble that sends a shiver down your spine.
Butter yellow, he’d called it when you twirled in the hallway, his voice catching just enough to make your cheeks flare.The 3D florals scratch faintly against your thighs as you adjust the napkin on your lap.
"Thank you," you reply, your cheeks flushed with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. "You don't look too bad yourself." "That's why you have me."
"So true, but you have many other qualities, too. And one of them is building me my dream house."
He pours the wine, a Burgundy too bold for coq au vin, but you don’t care once he unfolds the kitchen renovation plans.
You point to a spot with a spark of excitement. “What if we put a farmhouse sink here?” you suggest, tracing the line with your finger. “And maybe open shelving above, with those vintage plates we found last summer.”
He leans in, eyes bright with the same enthusiasm. “Yes—and a breakfast nook in the corner,” he adds, gesturing to the space where you can already picture lazy mornings bathed in sunlight.
SHOES: Gucci Signorina slingbacks - buy here USA or buy here EU + rest of the world. Or here where I bought mine.
DRESS: Self Portrait mini butter yellow dress - buy here (US) or here (the rest of the world). Now tell me, isn’t this the prettiest dress yet? I sure think so. For me, it was love at first sight, and before I knew I was confirming my purchase. Luckily I know my credit card by heart. And I know you will love it as much as I do, too. *Take your normal size. It doesn’t run super large on me, but it stretches a little bit, so I know it will fit you perfectly.
MAKEUP: Dior red lipstick - buy here.
*I paired my beautiful butter yellow mini dress adorned with 3D florals with kitten heel patent leather berry lacquer pointy pumps for those special at-home dinners where you break out the fine china and discuss important life plans. This combination creates a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere that matches the intentionality of your dinner conversation. Or when you are just to tired to make extra effort.
The butter yellow dress is a one and done dress. with the trendy colour and the textured 3D floral details.
I specifically chose kitten heels rather than higher stilettos because they offer enough elevation to feel dressed up without becoming uncomfortable during a long dinner and discussion. Also, who walks in stilettos at home?
The patent leather finish in that rich berry tone adds a luxurious touch that complements the special occasion dinnerware, while the pointed toe maintains an air of sophistication.
The contrast between the soft yellow dress and the deeper berry pumps creates a visually appealing look that feels cohesive yet interesting. Pov, you are not a boring housewife. You are fun and flirty and the only person your spouse will ever love and desire.
3 TRANSCENDENT PINK BLOUSE WITH BLACK PLEATED SHORTS AND CHERRY LACQUER PATENT LEATHER KITTEN HEEL SLINGBACKS
He’d been gone for weeks—racing season, he’d said, voice crackling over a call from Dubai that blurred into the next. “When I’m back, I’ll cook for you,” he promised, and you’d laughed, loud and skeptical. F1 drivers have reputations: charming but surrounded with yacht girl, all champagne and empty vows. But he’s WAC, you reminded yourself. “Cute, friendly, and… this is it – your first time at his place.
The elevator doors part on the 14th floor, and there he is—leaning against the doorway of a penthouse that smells of Fronasetti The Giardino Segreto and, what is that - burnt garlic? “Welcome to my chaos. You look incredible."
You blush, "Thank you."
You step inside, and the first thing you see entering is his WAC team jacket slung over a chair. The balcony is open, and your pink blouse flutters at your wrists as the breeze comes in.
The space is a blend of modern polish and understated luxury - you can tell he doesn't spend much time here: a low-slung leather sofa, a few abstract sculptures, and a faint whiff of garlic drifting from somewhere deeper inside.
“Glad you made it,” he says, rubbing the back of his neck, his casual tone undercut by a flicker of nerves. He’s dressed simply but well—a fitted navy shirt and dark jeans that hint at effort without trying too hard. His eyes linger on you for a moment, and you sense the outfit’s impact, a quiet boost to your confidence.
He leads you to the kitchen. A large island dominates the center, littered with chopped herbs, a jar of sauce, and a cutting board—his cooking station. The counter’s littered with split wine corks and a cookbook splayed open to “Coq au Vin (Simple!)”—the page splattered with something red. “I followed the recipe,” he insists, waving a wooden spoon. “Mostly. No promises it’ll be edible, though.”
You laugh, leaning against the island. “I’ll give you points for trying. F1 guys don’t usually cook, do they?”
You perch on a barstool, watching him fumble with a corkscrew. His hands, usually steady on a steering wheel, shake just enough to make you hide a smile.
He offers champagne, and you settle onto the plush sofa, conversation flowing easily. He talks passionately about his recent race, adrenaline still evident. You listen intently, captivated by his stories.
"Yes, I've watched it," you say.
Dinner’s ready, and he sets the table with unexpected care: flickering candles, a small vase of flowers, and crisp white plates.
He serves a pasta dish, the sauce glistening, and it’s terrible. The noodles are mushy, the sauce too salty. You lock eyes, and for a second, silence hangs. Then you both dissolve into laughter.
“I warned you,” he says, shaking his head, still grinning.
“It’s fine,” you manage between giggles. “Really. This is better than fine.”
SHOES: Gucci Signorina slingbacks - buy here USA or buy here EU + rest of the world. Or here where I bought mine.
TOP: pink RED Valentino silk shirt - I bought mine ages ago and wasn't really able to find anything that would be super similar - made of silk, in this pretty pink and has ruffles - but I did find this sheer pink ruffle blouse and this gorgeous poplin shirt that will double up as your new favourite top for work as well (I have just put it on my shopping list), and this ruffle blouse with polka heart print that is just dreamy (also new on my shopping list). *You might also want this prettypolka dot blouse in butter yellow.
BOTTOM: Sandro Paris pleated shorts - buy here. I had mine taken in, so take your normal size.
*I paired the transcendent pink ruffled blouse with sleek black pleated shorts and cherry lacquer kitten heel slingback pumps to acchieve the perfect balance between making an impression and appearing effortlessly stylish. The feminine pink blouse with its eye-catching ruffles is playful and romantic, while the black pleated shorts ground the look with sophistication.
This outfit is polished enough to show you've made an effort, yet comfortable enough to adapt to whatever the evening might bring, whether it's an impromptu apartment tour, settling in for a movie, or stepping out to grab dessert (or dinner following the plot above) nearby.
The cherry lacquer slingback pumps add a confident finishing touch with their polished appearance, while the kitten heel height is the best height to wear with shots. The slingback style also makes them easy to slip off should the evening transition to more casual lounging.
