I'm a huge fan of using the items you already have in your closet and re-working them in different ways. Today I'm sharing how I took my polka dot dress from this summer (left) and turned it into a fall/winter look (right)! The addition of a velvet jacket, boots and tights make the dress perfect for a holiday party or other winter festivity. This outfit is also part of the latest DailyBuzz style challenge, and on Tuesday I'll be posting a link so you can see how the other bloggers wore polka dots, too. How do you re-work the items in your closet for different seasons? Are you rocking the polka dot trend this fall/winter?

Where do you buy your tights? I'm looking for opaque black tights, the ones I find are too sheer. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love pieces that can do double duty, and you look like an exert in making something work year round. Love the bag from your look on the left and the amazing belt from your look on the right!
ReplyDeleteI need to find a white fall/winter dress...they look so great with opaque tights and a jacket!

I love polka dots and that dress is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI just love how you re-worked your polka dot dress from this Summer----it seems like polka dots are such a *happy* print to wear, too!! Years ago, I used to have a silky, long-sleeved red blouse with small black polka dots all over it, which I really enjoyed wearing; but now I don't even have a SINGLE polka dot to my name, though, (haha)!!
ReplyDeleteI've always been intrigued and thoroughly *mesmerized* by "bubble prints," which (in a way) are............ "Polka Dots Gone Wild"!! To me, bubble prints are............ even *H.A.P.P.I.E.R.* than regular polka dots are, (e.g., like this bubble print scarf from Happy Scarf, which sure would be *fun* trying to work-style it for Fall/Winter by maybe "pulling-out" ONLY it's blue & purple colors; then to casually style it for Spring/Summer by maybe "pulling-out" ONLY it's white & orange colors----or something similar to that, J!!):

ReplyDeleteLove both styles, the dress looks totally different in them! Have a great week! xoxo

I got the tights from TJ Maxx (see caption), the brand is HUE. I just picked up some fun colors by the same brand last week and can't wait to style them!
ReplyDeleteI love summer dresses for the fall! so versatile! I'd rock polka dots any time and any day! :)
