Happy Friday dear readers. I really hope you had a fantastic week.
I had a busy and productive week that started off at the Food Blog Forum in Asheville Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday was my birthday and today I am getting ready for another round of company to actually celebrate my birthday. And oh yeah, a lot of blogging on Running in a Skirt in between. Did you try my Greek Tortellini Pasta Salad from the other day? Seriously, give it a whirl, you will love it.
Speaking of love, I have a LOVE AFFAIR with polka dots.
It is such a classic, yet youthful look that anyone can pull off. I already own a half dozen dresses with polka dots in my closet and whenever I see one in the store I am drawn to add it to my collection.
This shirt has subtle ruffles and is a quick fix for a work outfit to a night on the town.
I pair it with a statement purse with a pop of color. The jewelry is light and layered silver pieces that don’t detract from the shirt.
The shoes are flat and fabulous. A look that is perfect for skinny black pants and one that will easily transition into early Fall.
Pants: White House Black Market
Shirt: White House Black Market Outlet
Shoes: Jessica Simpson
Purse: Kate Spade
And even though I’m not officially a fashion forecaster, I’d place money on this look staying in style for years to come.
Special thanks to my Sister-in-law Megan who took the pictures when she was in Asheville last week.
Your turn!
Do you own any polka dot dresses or shirts?
How was your week?
Dana Summers says
I have no polka dots but this post inspired me! I will be on the hunt now...I am in love with any and all flats paired with skinny jeans so this is by far my fav fashion post!
Kathy Boggs says
I have only one shirt with polka dots, but I love them! I have been planning to look for more.
Rose W says
You have inspired me...I love polka dots and, at present, don't have anything in my wardrobe with them. They look so fresh and cheery. When I was younger, I always wore polka dots...I will again. Everyone deserves polka dots in their life!
Lisa B says
I still wear a black blouse of my late mother's, accented with plenty of white polka dots!
Looking great, Julie!
JulieWunder says
I agree! They have just the right amount of whimsy.
Ginny says
Where is the WH/BM outlet?
JulieWunder says
There is one in Orlando where I used to go shopping with my Mom.
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
I love polka dots! This is such a classic look. It easily could have been worn in the 1950's too. Very Audrey Hepburn-ish.
JulieWunder says
That is probably why I like it so much.
Terry B says
You look adorable in your polka dots! I really love your blog and look forward to reading it first thing every morning. Please keep writing.
JulieWunder says

JulieWunder says
Thank you Terry! My plan is to keep doing it!
