If you recognize this dress, that is because I wore it all 9 months during my pregnancy with Emil (and during my pregnancy with Oliver, come to think of it!). And you know what? I’m still not tired of it! Also? It’s not a maternity dress, just a little more forgiving of the old waistline, so it stays.
My favorite part is the back, which is an interesting shape and open to the skirt part, while the rest of the dress is pretty modest. I will wear this thing until it is full of holes. Unfortunately, as you may imagine, I bought it many years ago while living in Baltimore when Milo was just a wee babe, so I’m pretty sure it’s long gone. However, if you like the brand, it’s Velvet. Here is a link to some of their more current styles, though sadly I don’t care for most of it.
Do you ever feel disappointed when a designer you love changes course to follow trends you would rather not? I think I may always love some sort of boots-and-dress combination, but lately I have been choosing a style that is far from “current.” Oh, well. If I keep finding vintage Frye boots, I will keep wearin’ em! 
P.s.- They’re really comfortable!
As always, you look beautiful!
I agree with your Mom, and as for styles and trends, I’m really not sure I care to worry about it much. I like what I like, as do you, so just do what you want! Being unique is way cooler.
P.S. I’ve been noticing your icy dino dig getting a lot of play on pinterest among my acquaintances, cool that they’re strangers to you yet didn’t get the pin from me!
That is a great dress, and it looks so good on you! I’d wear it over and over again, too 🙂
You are gorgeous. I love that dress. I used to work for a second hand dealer for designer clothing and we used to get a ton of Velvet. I loved their brand but haven’t seen much of their new stuff. Also, Frye boots? Gooooood taste. I love this outfit so much and it suits you so well! I think Spring is in the air, finally huh? 🙂
That’s hot. Period.
That dress is so adorable – and how awesome that it got you through two pregnancies! Score! The boots are amazing of course. And I have to say your hair looks so beautiful!

Look at that sexy hair down! You look great as always, love it.
I love the dress and the boots and the hair down! So pretty!!
Wow! How long is your hair?! I can only imagine it up. Such a great outfit. And those boots! Love.
Thanks for all the nice comments! And as for my hair, unfortunately, it never stays down for long (what with all the running around, toddler-chasing, cooking, cleaning, and especially gardening I do!). But my bangs are finally long enough to tuck behind my ears, so maybe I’ll wear it down more often. You ladies sure know how to make a gal feel good!
that dress is adorable!
Heck yes to the versatile pieces that can be worn pregnant or not. And I love the contrast of the red boots paired with a calm-colored outfit. Also echoing what everyone else has said – your hair looks awesome.
