Cacharel Pivoines Dress

Maybe it’s because I live in New York City, but I like it when my girl friends wear stylish dresses seemingly inspired by artistic smocks. The whole art-cum-fashion trend was a huge hit several seasons ago–Thakoon, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior–but I say if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
