Though I like a trend as much as the next gal, I often find myself returning and drawn to ladylike looks with pearls, bows, and smart tailoring. I thought I’d share a few of my favorite finds of late:
PEARL TRIMMED CARDIGAN (THANKS TO BORN ON FIFTH FOR THE TIP!)
THIS LACE DRESS (ON SALE)
ELEGANT BLACK DRESS (LOOK FOR LESS WITH THIS)
GLEN PLAID TROUSERS (OR THIS IN-A-SIMILAR-VEIN PLAID BLAZER)
THIS BOW-SHOULDERED MIDNIGHT BLUE COCKTAIL DRESS
P.S. Christmas gifts for babies, the incongruous emotions of motherhood, and great gifts for men.
In practice, I err more on the side of streetwear/androgynous staples (for example, today I’m wearing a Breton stripe shirt with slouchy Nili Lotan chinos and coordinating sneaks), but I endeavor to dress more ladylike on a more regular basis! I had actually had my eye on that black Shoshanna dress with pearl buttons. Love! I’d wear it with my black knot headband and red lipstick. 🙂
Also, why is Cecilie Bahnsen so amazing?! I have a saved search on The RealReal (let’s be honest, the only way I’ll be able to afford one of her pieces) but it has been very quiet to date … I will keep my eyes peeled!

Ugh I’m so with you! I’d die for that velvet swing top with the bows on the shoulder…some day?!
