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!
