Nicole Miller

Little fun fact about this dress, my mom purchased it to wear at my rehearsal dinner almost 8 years ago. She ended up wearing a different one and this beauty sat in her closet for a couple years before she rediscovered it and gave it to me. I waited for the right occasion to wear it and as you know, I have a ton of dresses, so sometimes the perfect moment can take a year (or 5) to arrive. Fast forward to our dear friends Mario & Gilles’ wedding this past month. They are one of our chicest friends and when they invited us to their wedding, I knew I had to find something that was a little bit special and definitely up to their standards. So, this Nicole Miller dress was the perfect choice.

Dress: Jeweled neckline with cape dress by Nicole Miller (luxury option here and more affordable options here and here)
Bag: Snakeskin bronze clutch by Banana Republic (similar here)
Shoes: Pavi black suede bow sandals by Salvatore Ferragamo

It’s obviously not a maternity dress but I love a fitted sheath/shift dress for the first and second trimester.
It’s the only time when you don’t have to worry about “holding it in” and personally, I love to show off the baby bump when I can.

Needless to say, this dress was a hit and I was super comfortable in it…also, these shoes are some of my favorites. They’re soooo pretty and feminine. Happy wedding season, friends! Let me know what you’re all wearing! XOXO, Martha
