Polka Dot Party


If in doubt, go with polka dots!
  A polka dot print has a festive flare about it that makes people want to smile
From the most conservative workwear to the fanciest evening dress
 polka dots seem to be cheerful!

First, a versatile navy blue dress that has a mini white polka dot print and sheer sleeves
 I dressed it up here for Christmas with some touches of red and green


I have had this Frankie Welch Christmas tree print scarf for years
The artist is local to Alexandria, Virginia. 
I bring it out and style it differently every holiday season


  Green is definitely a favorite Christmas color but it
seems to take a back seat to bold and fiery red
So today, I decided to give my green accessories some love


Wearing black D'Orsey pumps to finish the look



Next, a jacket with a larger scale black and white dot print
The dotted jacket and the bright blue blouse energize my conservative outfit
Another plus is that the jacket is a cinch to mix and match with other colors 


Carrying a black and white striped handle bag for a little pattern mixing
and wearing simple gold tone jewelry to accessorize


Black tie heels to finish



Last dottie outfit!
  This look is made up of a white blouse with a small confetti like dot print
   The full lace overlay skirt I paired with it has served me so well
 around the holidays and beyond.  It is from Express and is one of those rare items
 that I get way more wear from than I could have ever guessed
 when I purchased it.  It's been re-mixed since the late 2000's!


A little purple for color and a little gold tone for sparkle!


Brushed gold pumps
I have accumulated quit a few pairs of Sam Edelman shoes
 as it is one brand that consistently fits my well
It's so nice to have a go-to shoe brand


  
I think Santa might appreciate a little healthy break from all the Christmas sweets 

Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!
