Can't. Tear. Myself. Away.

I've been spending an obscene amount of time browsing net-a-porter.com lately. Do they offer even one thing that isn't positively gorgeous and crave-worthy? I think not. I'm always on the lookout for clothes that can double as maternity wear. Even though there are some really gorgeous maternity fashions on the market right now, I still lean towards non-maternity clothes -- especially now that there are so many gorgeous pieces like this one from Little Joe by Gail Elliott. The bow detail on the sleeves is twee without being too twee, and the crochet trim? Satisfies my nostalgia for all things smocked without having to actually fill my wardrobe with smocked items. In a fabric other than silk, I think this might not be quite dressy enough, but the familiar sheen and texture of the silk give it just enough for me to feel comfortable wearing it both to work and to dinner. But I don't think I'll be pairing it with skinny jeans any time soon (a la the picture on the site); no matter how trendy they are!
