Recently I read an interview with Zooey Deschanel (I can't remember where!) and she was asked about her fashion inspirations. She mentioned that she always gets a little jealous of children's clothing. I have to admit I share her sentiment. While I don't like dressing child-like or coming off costumey, there is something about the details in children's clothing that always gets me. I think it's the little pleats and ruffles, the button details and the Peter Pan collars; all the charming bits and pieces that don't always translate well to adult clothing. I'd like to have grown up versions of these little turn of the century dresses...
