I love the second look and the easy confidence of the wearer! She manages to be fashionable and put-together with a subtle sense of style. I love the pants she paired the shirt with too.
Hm.. I saw this trend coming. However, I do agree with Madame M; these are lovely photos and I especially like the second one, but I was never a big fan of polka dots.
I don’t think you can ever have too many polka dots. By the way, does anyone know where the word comes from? Wouldn’t have anything to do with the Bohemian dance, would it?
The combo in the first shot is burlesque fabulous; the woman in the second shot looks just plain lovely. That shirt is extraordinarily flattering on her.
Both photos are incredible. I love the polka dot rage, so many ways to play with it. I think I am going to wear my own polk dot number today, out on the streets in the Paris FW fun :)
How timely, since I seem to be going through a polka dot phase lately. Love the polka dotted skirt and hose, they work so well together! Chic and cheeky! And the blouse in the second photo — I’d snap that up in a heartbeat.
I have been looking for a polka dot top but they pretty much all look the same to me. Your black polka dot top is so unique. I love the subtleness of the dots! where did you get it from?
The first shot impressed me, the mix of black dots is sexy and retro. The shoes complete this beautiful capture. I am curious and exciting about the lady behind the “dots painting” http://www.bylaviniavoicu.blogspot.com
To Frances V.: wikipedia says: “The pattern is named for the dance of the same name, making one suspect there is a connection linking the pattern to the dance. Instead, the name was settled upon merely because of the dance’s popularity at the time the pattern became fashionable. Many other products and fashions of the era also adopted the polka name”
OMG yes the dots are great but no one else is as excited about the Watch the Throne reference??? Scott is amazing for so many reasons but this is definitely one of the best posts ever…
I love this! I’m a polka dot kind of girl! Although, come to think of it, I don’t own anything dotted! I own lots of stripes. Time to incorporate a little dot-age into my wardrobe!
Moles, remind me of my childhood and a red dress from my mother.
Female super sophisticated and join us in stages of our lives we just have to update them with cuts and textures, a classic that never dies.
