Boy do I love this outfit. It’s one of my favorites, because it’s the perfect casual outfit for running errands, but kicked up just a notch. Also, I love when my summer blouses get to debut into the winter mix, b/c (a) they’ve never seen snow, and (b) they need to make new friends. I mean, that whole summer crowd is out of control.
And you know what? I never would’ve kept this polka dot blouse around for winter if not for this lovely little 30/30/30 challenge. That Kendi is on to something. But because I mix/match so much anyway, I thought I’d throw my wardrobe a curve ball and see if I could make my summer goodies work in the winter. For aforementioned reasons, yes, but also because it’s called a challenge and I wanted to make things challenging.
So, here’s to dear Kendi for inspiring my summery, polka dot blouse to make sweet love to my more wintery basics.
This outfit is the spawn of that love.

LOVEEEEE…I’m with Bets! My fave of the lot so far. I’m a sucker for navy and polka-dots. Also, I need a skinny belt now :)
ohhh you are sweet. thank you! and you don’t have a skinny belt? really? gracious. come shop in my closet!
I love this outfit! Something about the trouser jeans and the belted cardigan with layers of prints poking out from underneath is just so cozy and all-around PERFECT!
thank you, angeline! — i love this one, too!
adorable! you’re inspiring me with two things: 1. mixing all the dots and stripes and patterns. 2. I need more belts. i think i own only one and i never wear it. maybe i should make some. i love these posts!
These posts are hilarious. I love your commentary, it always makes me smile :)
thank you so much, sweet things!
This is such a perfect combo of stripes and polka dots, of ruffles and rugged! Love it, so beautiful on you!
