Thanks Carole, Emily & Kristin! I did have a lot of fun with the outfit today.
Parsley, wow you kill me with your version--now that is sharp! So fun to be necklace twins with you! The necklace does make a strong statement against plain backgrounds. I was using the print in part to camouflage how big and bold the necklace was. Thanks for thinking of my comfort--I did put my KS black trench over it in the morning, but mostly wore it bare all day because I was inside, and in the afternoon it was 69 degrees so not super chilly. Next time I could try it with a cardigan on top if it's colder. Mini-GP is coming in about 3 months, so not that much longer to go! Time flies!
Wow Sara, necklace triplets! I think the red would be really eye-catching. Do you have some WIW posts with the necklace?
Kiwichick, I agree, I wasn't sure about the keyhole neckline with the necklace on top but I just couldn't resist doing the theme so I went with it anyways.
Rae, I doubt you'd find the dress. I bought it late summer at TJ Maxx. I checked the tag and the brand is Emma & Michele, if that helps at all. Here's a couple other times I wore the dress:

Rae, how about we do a collaboration on a UWP maternity line? You can head the UW department and I'll head the P department! Now that is something I'd buy!
Thanks Shannon! I was wondering why I hadn't seen your fish bow pumps lately...bring them out of hiding, shoe twin! I wear them so often because they're very flat pumps, and because they go so well with Dotty and with my love of polka dots. I know, the necklace *is* a bit much but I think the black color makes it a bit more subdued...I think I can work with it...it's a good challenge for me to wear statement necklaces without being overwhelmed by them.
Angie, wow, I'm thrilled! Thank you!
Cobaltblue, looks like we are the same shoe size--I'm 7.5 too! What size clothes are you? The problem is I've been trying so hard to avoid buying maternity, that all my new stuff is pretty much non-maternity and clothes I'm hoping to still wear postpartum, except the maternity clothes I had for prior pregnancies...I'd be happy to pass some on if you are interested, but it's mostly pre-YLF maternity clothes.
Thanks Suz! Glad that the champagne got you smashed!
Una, thank you for the title! I'm tickled by themes and my matchy matchy side goes wild with them! Not sure DH has the same level of appreciation for my fashion creativity as you all do, but he does often tell me I look nice (when I'm not going too all-out crazy--he has more classic tastes and hates pattern mixing and animal prints and bright pants etc. but he liked the tipped peacoat on me though!). No comment from him on today's outfit, but I did get lots of compliments from random people throughout the day on my dress and shoes! They're both attention- and compliment-getters!
