      I know that polka dots are extremely on trend right now but I also find them to be a prime example of a forever print. I always feel so very timeless while wearing polka dots and this occasion was no exception. However, I always seem to pair different dotted pieces with the same accessory. This large brimmed "luggage" colored hat always adorns my crown while wearing polka dots (for example: here & here). Do you have any other ideas for how to style this fashionable print using items I may already have in my wardrobe?


Yours,
Nico

  1. It's a stunning dress, I love dots :) You could even take the hat away and wear a colourful sash of fabric around the waist for colour or a scarf around the neck, but really it looks stunning just now :) Hope you have a great weekend! xx

  3. The 1st shot is magazine ready. You look stunning.

    There are so many great finds in the Thrift Store. I hope that the gaining popularity doesn't drive up prices. :(

  12. I had no idea you would stretch out your sunnies by placing them on your head (I am so guilty of that!)
    Anyways as always I love your dress (and $3!! that's amazing!) and you're hat is amazing! I miss you so much as always.

    xoxo,

  14. Nico, are you kidding me??? 3 bucks for this fabulous dress? How come you always find the best bargains? You are amazing :) I´m obsessed with polka dots, and I would toughen this dress with a sharp leather jacket and a pair of perfectly worn-in riding boots. Thoughts?

    Happy Monday! (And I promise to answer your mail about my hand painted earrings immediately :)
