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!

Summer Polka Dots

Polka dots have been quite prevalent this summer and I could not help falling for this skirt from  J. Crew!  I put together a dressed up look and accentuated the skirt with a black, illusion neckline, sleeveless, peplum top which really dresses up the outfit and looks great with the skirt!  I know peplum is always paired with slim skirts which makes a ton of sense but I love the idea of experimenting with pairing peplum with a flared skirt.  If you're self-conscious about overemphasizing the middle area of your body, add in a skinny belt across the waist just above the peplum part of the top to emphasize your slim waist.   Adding in a pop of color through the red shoes and topping it off with a cool black and white bowler bag gives it just the right touch!  The earrings add in some fun and the circles subtly enhance the polka dot effect!
