Spotted



I am determined to winterize this polka piece.


Dress: LF (similar here or midi length here - also love this collared version).  Hat: ASOS (get it here).  Mens brogues: Florsheim (or get
>womens versions
) or these mens ones
.  Bag via eBay: Vintage Coach.


I found this dotty number at the LF clearance end of summer sale and flung it on within days of buying it (or was it the next day? Knowing me I bet it was). Either way, these shots were taken around then.
I wore it with my men's brogues found at the vintage shop and one of my old vintage coach bags plus the blazer for just in case.

  14. as much as i love dots this season, I don't really like it on babydoll dresses. It looks too outdated.

  24. Polka dots mean Summer to me... I am curious to see how you will be able to wear it in Winter.

    But for now, as a late Summer chic outfit, it is perfect! Love the boyfriend blazer with such a feminine dress.

  41. I love polka dots for Fall because it compliments the makeup style for fall. Fresh face / nude makeup and bold lips!

  43. Mariajustjernov - I actually like the idea of wearing full tights too with this but yes, half is nice for mixing it up.

    CherieJolai - never thought of it like that

    Black Cellist - its by Chanel. If I find the name I'll add it to the blog
