Winter Polka Dots


Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I chose two outfits featuring polka dots for the week's post,
because I feel like this pattern always lifts my spirits-
and who doesn't need a little lift at the end of winter!
Why is it that most of the polka dot patterns are seen on spring and summer clothing?
We could really use more of this cheerful print during the cold weather months,
don't you think?

My first outfit is in a favorite winter color combination, red, white and black
I usually wear this large black and white jacquard knit jacket 
for fall and winter because of it's substantial weight and warmth
Worn today with a white ribbed mock neck top
 and black ribbed skirt that has a feminine narrow ruffled hem






Carrying a red woven leather satchel style handle bag



For jewelry, I chose a banded silver tone open cuff bracelet,
chunky textured hoop earrings
and a special vintage pendant necklace from the sixties
The necklace is a 3-D red enameled apple half, with a little lucky ladybug on it,
and a leaf encrusted with green rhinestones-
so whimsical and colorful!



Black suede block heel sling backs with tuxedo bows
to finish the look



Rarely do I wear a mini dress-only once in a blue moon!
This one is the perfect way to showcase these lively navy blue tights
 with giant polka dots on them, to brighten up the end of winter doldrums
I wear blue quite often, and love this dress's two tone design
Everything is perfect about it, but the length
It is such a soft and flowing fabric, that I might try wearing it over a skirt,   
or maybe with pants, or as a tunic next time




Accessorizing with a cheeky pink enamel camera necklace
and fuchsia irregular shaped stone earrings 


Carrying a bright pink clutch bag
It has a detachable chain cross body strap tucked inside,
and I sometimes wear it that way, too


Low kitten heel sling backs to finish this fun look


Hope you all enjoy your week!

I also really like the black, white, and red color combo, so the first outfit is right up my alley. The two-tone dress with the polka dot tights is amazing, and the bright pink accessories are so much fun (the camera!). I agree that we need more polka dots in winter!

These are both fabulous outfits! The two tone dress is very unusual and it looks great with the tights. Thanks for linking!
