Don’t Stop Polka Dot, Blushing for a Remix

June 21, 2017

Having a rough start to your Wednesday? Just remember: don’t stop polka dot!  One of the most important things for me when I’m buying a new piece of clothing is versatility.  Keep reading for the tip that will expand the number of tops in your closet!

Don’t Stop Polka Dot | What’s the Skinny?

Let me tell you a secret…this top? It’s actually a dress.  I knew wanted to wear this navy polka dot skirt with blush so I pulled out this dress and tucked it in.  Voila!  My blush frock is on the shorter side so it’s easy to style this way and an easy {and SUPER affordable} way to get extra wear out of your dresses and extend your wardrobe.  I’m all about saving money!

Don’t Stop Polka Dot | Devil’s in the Details.

With the navy and blush combo, I wanted to add some unexpected and bold colors to the mix.  I pulled out what is easily my favorite handbag that I snagged this spring: the Rebecca Minkoff Love Crossbody.  This crossbody purse features a cute tassel, turn lock closure and the prettiest suede chevron on the front flap.  After scoring this for a steal at Saks Off 5th during a spring shopping trip, I’m pretty sure I may need another color.  I mean how cute is the red?!

    Wearing a dress as a top is a smart idea. The polka dots look great with blush.
