Polka Dot Mix-up

Hello Friends!

I have seen so many adorable outfits with polka dots lately that I was inspired to mix mine.  Both pieces are from a few seasons ago and I never thought to put them together.  Of course, as of lately, mixing prints has become the new norm.

I love the idea of small dots with big dots.  I didn't have a large dot sweater but it's just big enough to mix it well with this top.

I have had this bag for many years and I think it's beginning to show it's wear.  I found it to be a timeless piece that I hope to keep using for many more seasons.  I slipped in a frugal find here, one of which you've seen here before.  These adorable linen, mustard shorts were 80% off!!!!  Making them only $6.80.   Yes, please may I have another!!!

 I got another frugal find while shopping this weekend.  Tanks at Old Navy are a drop dead, shocking price of $3.50.  I wear these layering tanks with just about everything.  And of course, with such a great price, I had to pick up a few more.  I love the new jewel tones this season and found the turquoise and burgandy colors to be very rich.  They will be perfect for fall.



Hugs,

Denim and Dots

Good afternoon friends!

We're still loving this amazing weather.  I can't believe 83 degrees feels like a cool spell!!!!  I got this fun skirt and was anxious for the heat wave to break so I could rock it without sweating my tail off!








I must admit that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this skirt.  I love the color, the weight and the length.  Hello, me likey the maxi!!!!!  However, I had planned to wear this to church and the hubby informed me that it was a bit sheer.  Darn it!  I wouldn't mind (I do have a slip) but in church it just doesn't seem right.  So I ended up with a whole new outfit five minutes before heading out the door.  Having a somewhat organized closet helped with that quick wardrobe change.

And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this bracelet.  It's a little gem from Stella & Dot and it goes with everything!  My camera doesn't do it justice, it's definitely a must see in person.

I have to close with my excitement for this blog.  I used to be an executive and LOVED to create fun outfits for the office.  Now that I work from home, the outfits have changed as well as my job description.  I find myself wanting to put on a dozen different outfits to share with you since the library or playgroup could care less if I'm wearing a fun new trend.  So thanks for visiting, I look forward to sharing more with you ;)

Polka Dots and Leopard


Good Morning Friends,

Today is a low key day.  You know, one of those days that you don't really want to go anywhere or have to do anything by a certain time?  We are on the go most days, so I live for a day like today.  The kiddos and I watered flowers, created some masterful art and enjoyed the breeze from our open windows.  Yes, that's right we finally got a break in the heat.  It's in the 80's today, instead of the horrid high 90's or 100 degrees.  Thank the Lord for the cool front.  I'm ready for fall and speaking of fall, keep an eye out for my want list.  It'll be jam packed with fall fav's.
