Dots of Style



Falling in love with this polka dot shift dress with lots of style (or dots of style, if you prefer!) is not very hard to do.  Polka dots are great prints year round and can go with tons of things.  I love the details on this dress, available at ModCloth, because they're very girly and unique. I love the ruffled/ruched cap sleeves, the deep V-neck and the cinched in waist.  All are very feminine details that work well with any body shape!  A nip in the waist and a ruffled sleeve in a simple but chic print can do wonders for any woman looking to dress up their day to day wear.  This would also be a super cute look to wear for going out on a dinner date or brunch and if you pair it with a cami, it can be appropriate enough for meeting the future in-laws and even family events!  Picture a red cami underneath this dress, paired with black tights and flats and you have a wonderful holiday outfit!

I'm also really digging the simple earrings, chain/leather bracelet and rocker necklace!  That necklace is such a statement, you definitely don't need bigger earrings than studs to go with it.  And since the dress is in a neutral shade, adding a colorful handbag or shoes would really stand out.  In a good -- no -- in a great way! 

I also love how you can pair a lower priced dress with fabulous and luxurious  accessories to amp this up.  How do you like it?  Is there an article of clothing you've just been dying for but still admire from afar as I do with this dress?  One day I might actually decide to buy it if its still available!

Rocking a Red (Pencil) Skirt

I love the idea of wearing a colored pencil skirt but Kate (Middleton... Ahem! Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) got me seeing red with her McQueen number last week!  I've never personally gone so bold in my own work wardrobe but I've seen so many chic women on the DC Metro dressed for work in color, including colorful cropped pants and pencil skirts.   When I found this red pencil skirt on Polyvore, I could not resist to build an outfit around it.  It's so bold I didn't want to contrast it with another bold top but I did like this dark grey tee from Anthropologie, and some great black and white open toe heels from Ann Taylor.  Adding in a colorful bag is a great idea because it really showcases the red skirt well and some silver accessories with a hint of turquoise is a perfect final touch.  If you rock this, you'll be super polished to the nines!

The color red is also so bold it evokes a powerful response.  This is definitely a summer work do!  If I wasn't still trying to recycle my closet wardrobe I would run out and grab this outfit pronto!  You could even wear this out to dinner, a party with friends or even out to a play or performance.  The possibilities are numerous!
