Pregnant Blake Lively Wears The Dress Of Our Not-Pregnant Dreams

It's so versatile!

Blake Lively: Master of maternity style and girl after our own hearts. 

Ms. van der Woodsen The glowing mom-to-be attended a launch event for Target in Brooklyn on Thursday night wearing a flowing, floral Lindsey Thornburg dress that we can just imagine ourselves living in all summer long. Here’s why.

The dress looks adorably comfortable with a pair of heels:

Too. Cute.

And just as cute (plus way more comfortable) with a pair of Converse. Milkshake in hand optional, but highly recommended. 

“Milkshake: check. Comfortable shoes: check. Having a slit in your dress to make you feel better about the aforementioned: check,” she captioned the photo on Instagram. 

Preach, girl.
