Everybody, Everwear / What I Wore Wednesday- Polka dots!

I know it's not Wednesday yet, but today is Everybody Everwear polka dots day! I realized that I had a few different options for polka dots in my closet. I could have worn a few of them together, but I didn't want to look like a crazy person. So I went with this vintage top that you might have seen before for a previous What I Wore Wednesday, since it's just not warm enough yet for my polka dot skirt, either of my polka dot dresses (this one or this one) or my polka dot heels. Maybe if I walked less to get places. I just hate being cold.


It probably goes without saying that it's way too cold right now in Wisconsin for my polka dot swimsuit. Maybe in a month, or four.


I absolutely love this top. It makes me feel a little like an old-school librarian, especially with a cardigan.

I'm wearing:

Black Cardigan: Kohls, $3
Polka Dot Top: Thrifted, Dig and Save Dollar a Pound (for pennies, literally)
Jeans: Plato's Closet, $13
Black Boots: Sears, $30

    I love that vintage top. It is like the Tucker for Target top, but authentic!

    Thanks for joining us at EBEW today!

    That top was worth every penny! ;) I love it with the cardigan, the bow at the neck is so flattering.

    i love this--such a modern twist on a classic look. that red/white tie blouse is the clincher though...LOVE. and what the tiny waist?!? you look about 3 inches around with that belt. which, you probably are, but i'm just saying. super flattering.
