Week of Polka Dots!

As we are looking at the J.Crew new fall arrivals I have to remember what I already have. And I definitely have enough polka dots. The week before my vacation I decided to wear polka everyday. Do you ever do that? Set up weekly themes for yourself? I do because it helps me to get dressed in the morning. It is a little silly I know. But then, why not?

 

Last years polka dot blouse with scout chinos, elephant necklace and Boden espadrilles.

All Madewell, silk skirt and tee shirt, plus Kate Spade bag and J.Crew pom pom ballets.
This was a very easy breezy outfit. It was 100F but I felt OK in this skirt. Well, almost. This was the day when I went to see the fall arrivals and I forgot to turn my A/C in the car on Full Auto, so it never got cold enough, I was dying. My husband could not understand how I did not notice that the A/C was not on. But I was so preoccupied with the new arrivals...

I worked from home and I went to drop off a casserole at the church so I asked my daughter for a few nicer pictures. A little better background don;t you think?

This is an old dress from Banana Republic. For some time I could not figure out how to wear it without looking like I stepped out from the fifties. Then I realized that black accessories did the trick for me. They toughened it up a bit making it more my style. It has pockets, knee length, it is 100% silk with cotton lining and it has dots! This dress is one of the reasons I never contemplated big shot dress. I figured I already have a big shot dress that I don;t wear enough.  

This was taken right after work but the there wasn't enough light so the pictures are a little hazy.

At some point I was trying to sell this jaquard dot skirt on JCA exchange but it had no takers so I decided to wear it, I was too lazy to list it on ebay. This is one of a very few pencil were I took size 2. My tee shirt is from Loft (old) and aren't those pink Valentinas great? They go with everything.

This is my casual Friday outfit, J.Crew chambray polka dot perfect shirt, worn over Jenny dress that I bought last year for under $20. It is a cut easy knit dress, it has pockets and good length and one of a very few dresses in which I am wearing size 4. I am also wearing Pierra ballet flats that are one of the most comfortable shoes I own.

That's all folks!

Are you all polka dotted out at this point?

Do you ever have a theme for your outfits?

I will be back withs some vacation photos. I survived the camping trip and I actually enjoyed it a lot.

Every morning I went for coffee to the little store at the campground.  I sat on the deck in the Adirondack chair and I read all you comments and most blogs I keep up with.  It was always a treat. I did not have enough time to reply to all and in general I tried to stay away from my phone but thank you for stopping by and reading!
