Polka Dots... And Twitter Chats

Jun 2, 2011

{DRESS:THRIFTED, BELT: DYNAMITE, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

Do you guys remember this dress? Yup, my fave thrifted delight is back! But this time with a more spring look. I wore it earlier this year when we were still having a case of the brrrr's; thank goodness that's over. If you would like to see my winter version, you can go here: "Thrifted Polka Dots." I must say, I just love living in dresses, wide belts, and ballet flats! It's fashion bliss!!

As the warmer weather [slowly] approaches, I'm trying to find ways to jazz up my dresses. I'm lusting after a pair of Jeffrey Campbell platforms, Anthro statement necklaces, and I have SO many more belts on the list!

As for the rest of my day? I spent my evening on the couch with a glass of red wine, while hubs made dinner (thanks babe) and I chatted on twitter. Are we twitter friends yet? You can connect with me here: @girlandcloset

    So cute! There's nothing like a thrifting a treasure like that pretty polka dot dress :) Loving how you spiffy up your dresses with lovely belts.

    And yes! Jeffrey Campbells for the win this summer <3 I'm getting boots soon, but I hope I can get platforms too :)

    I do like that dress, but that belt is really catching my eye today. I am jealous that you can have bare legs... I'm still throwing on tights and sweaters!

    I wish summer would arrive in California already, it's looking like winter all over again and I cannot wear my pretty dresses.
    This dress is awesome, the polka dots and the color of the dress look very pretty! I like how you threw in the belt to make it pop even more.

    Is there anything a good belt can't do? I've always suspected that there isn't, and this look fully convinces me- I didn't even realise that I'd seen this dress before until you mentionned it! That Obi belt really is a gem. And I'm loving your Joe Fresh flats. I just bought a pair of their shoes myself and, as silly as it sounds, I think Joe just might be turning into my favourite new Canadian brand! Everything is just so comfortable and easy to wear.

    Loving everything about this look - the patterned dress is beautiful (it kind of reminds me of animal skin in a way too, which I love), and the obi belt is the perfect thing to bring it all together. You look gorgeous as per usual!

    Such a pretty outfit V! And that sounds like an awesome way to end any day! It's kind of amazing how many good conversations I've had with people over Twitter! (and this coming from the girl who thought it was "so silly" a year before!) xx

    p.s loving your lust list! I agree with pretty much all of the items... especially the Jeffrey Campbell platforms. sigh.
