I love a polka dot dress. It may be difficult to see in photos, but the dots on this dress are a whisper of blush...which is why I paired it with pink in hopes of bringing that out more. The fit & length on this dress were spot on...& the scuba fabric held me like a hug & gave the skirt enough structure to poof out a bit...extra pleating at the waist also helped with that. The only thing I would ding this dress on is the seam down the middle...I never like the way that cuts up the pattern. Otherwise, 10/10.
We Love Colors offers a fantastic selection of colors for their tights, however, they don't have a great selection of pinks (either too light or too purple)...so I wore teggings with boots.
I got a haircut, which I desperately needed...
My make-up with this outfit included...Urban Decay eyeliner in Love Drug; Spiked Eggnog, Gumdrop, & Hot Toddy eyeshadow by Too Faced; Fuchsia Fusion Lip Cream from NYX; & OPI nail polish in Can't Hear Myself Pink!
I first wore this dress to the January edition of Wasted: Bubbles, my favorite. So much tasty food & sparkly wine. I also met the chick who made the documentary, Old Fashioned: The Story of the Wisconsin Supper Club. She & her husband just moved here from Chicago. Lindsay made some delicious food...including this dip with kimchi in it. The photo of Kate below was taken just after she was licking her plate.
I was in a hurry to get out of the house...so I threw on this pink & white striped cardigan, even though I knew it wasn't quite right (too summery)...but I later found the pink dotty one & was ecstatic. Aw, look...the girlie petting Jason.
The wines were put outside after they were poured & brought back in at the end of the evening...many of them were slushy...yum.
Some vintage jewelry acquired on eBay...
Sephora Play! box, some new nail polishes, & a hair cut with Gen.
Oh, the coldness of it all...woke up on Wednesday a week & a half ago...to -25° (-48° with windchill)...so of course we had to try throwing boiling water into the air...poof, disappeared...

I love all the dots. And you are absolutely correct that We Love Colors doesn't have a good pink. I was going to order a pink pair, and I looked at them and couldn't really decide. I do want some more of their new kind of microfiber tights, though, they're so much better than the old ones (although they apparently cannot make them in my favorite splash color - the one with blue, green, turquoise that photographs like crap but is amazing in person).
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love their microfiber tights...they sent me a pair a few years ago & I liked the way they felt & that they weren't as baggy.
