More Polka Dots!

Wow, I feel I've now become a parody of myself. But I just cannot help it. I love polka dots.
This cropped sweater is a new cut for me. I've never really liked the cropped bolero jacket, but this has a snug waist band, so it's like having a wide belt on -- which is how I often cinch my dresses anyway. Tighten that waist to accentuate the hourglass figure (a nice way of saying busty with big hips. hahaha :) 

Brand new dress and sweater from Modcloth sale. I<3MC.

 

I look forward to creating some different looks with this soft and warm sweater for fall/winter. Fun fun fun!

Black & white

Simple, drop-waist, off-white, sleeveless sweater dress. But how to dress up and "style" this simple shift? Add a bright belt over the cardigan. I love bright belts. And I find belts over a little sweater or jacket very dressy, feminine and flattering.

Polka dot cork wedges, from Shimamura. Pink lace socks from Little Tokyo. Same color scheme, but spicy enough to bring life to this office ensemble. Shy away from the obvious! Don't go for the simple, safe, plain black pump or flat -- be creative! Have fun!

Have a  great weekend!
