Unserious






What I Wore
Polka dot button-down: Old Navy - $12
Polka dot sweater: Old Navy - $20
Blazer: Target - $25
Belt: skirt
Skirt: Target - $20
Shoes: Zooshoes - $24

This outfit has been in my docket for a while, but I've been waiting for the weather to cooperate with the odd length of the sleeves on this blazer. 

I like the outfit overall, but I'm trying to imagine the top without the polka dot button down underneath...it almost makes me look a little bit too much like a Catholic priest...

Hey, at least I don't take myself too seriously over here, right?
XO,

This polka dot sweater is my favorite. I could seriously wear it with anything and really like how you styled it today. :)

I love it. The collar is cute, but I can see how you think you're almost a priest! haha! I love the dots on dots, definitely an outift worth repeating!

Yup I like it---it looks good but it seems like something that could be played with to be Stellar. I think the button-up/sweater combo with like a gray slack and heels would look awesome....or I like the idea of no button-up and just the sweater, no belt and a blue shoe to add a pop of color on the bottom half. I feel like no button-up would extend your neck line and would trick the eye into seeing your curves w/o needing the belt to try to help define it. Hope that all made sense. But I love the pattern and color here!!

I love your polka dots! The stack of national geographic in the background makes me giggle...I always had these in my classroom for students to use as a reference and for pictures!

I love the double polka dots (obviously). I don't know if I'd be able to squish a sweater under my blazers (damn you arms) but now I want to try too!

Whitney said...

Omg! I'm wearing the same blazer today :) I love your polka dots - that sweater might be one of my favorite pieces in your closet.

Whitney said...

I like the dots with the dots! Its all the rage!

Whitney said...

oooh, good to know I'm on the cutting edge of the trend here. ;)

Whitney said...

Such a great blazer, right? I've worn it so many times since I got it! I agree about this sweater -- I like it a lot, too!

Whitney said...

you're so adorable. try it. you'll be hooked.

haha! My Nat Geos are mostly just for decoration / holding down the bookcase. I can't recall once that I've used them in class other than for pictures or as an example of what a magazine article looks like...!

Whitney said...

I agree! I've already thought about pairing it up with my white pants...or even with skinnies would be a fun casual look! I agree about trying it without the shirt under it...I think that's the one thing I'd change about this outfit.

haha! I couldn't help but giggle at myself when I edited the photos! :)
