I love when I find a good, classic buy that I can wear in the early months of my pregnancy and after I deliver.  I found this Kate Spade bow shirtdress during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale.  I can never have enough easy pull on dresses  (remember this one?!) that have something special about it so it’s not just another LBD.  Of course, on this one, it is the bow tie collar that got my attention.

You may think I am crazy for wearing long sleeves in August in Houston, but unless I am playing outside with Knox, I am usually cold.  Everywhere you go from restaurants to office buildings the AC is on full blast so a little extra coverage is just what you need. (Otherwise, I am layering over my favorite blazer that is now available in black!)
