Two of Three


This is the second of three navy blue skirts with white polka dots that I have in my closet:


As I was observing the herd of polka dots that inhabit The Patterned Plains in The Giants Closet (see a map here), I realized that they are very social creatures.  From my observations, it appears that they like to hang out with florals, stripes and with other polka dots. 

Today, for example, my polka dot skirt (vintage, thrifted) decided to party down with my polka dot top (handmade vintage, thrifted).  However, they’re not snobs, so they also invited some nude platform sandals (Banana Republic “Natalie”), their friend, the hot pink braided belt (thrifted), and a few bracelets.

Me, at the party.  There is totally a drink in my other hand.

As is obvious from the above photo, I’m all for parties, so I think I’ll keep both of these pieces.

Happy Wednesday, All!

  1. I love the polka dots! Gracey, you look so pretty!
    Also, the way you describe your clothing is so cute- "however, they’re not snobs."

  4. Dots on dots! Adorable. Love this look, and loving your blog! (And I actually loved the Southwestern jacket too, but maybe your coworker will get better wear out of it). Anyway, definitely following! I would love it if you'd take a look at mine, let me know what you think, follow back if the spirit moves you!

  9. Gracey, dots on dots, terrific combo. The nude shoes are just the right thing, anything else would have been distracting; good choice.

  15. I'm glad you're keeping this skirt! It's lovely.

    I agree that polka dots, stripes and florals were made to be worn together. Maybe not all at the same time, though. Although I bet you could make it work :)

  25. You know what this makes me want to sing? (Imagine it to the Cordettes' version of "Lollipop".) "Polka dots, polka dots, ohhh polka-polka-polka, polka dots!" It's a good party song.
