dots and bow's

I honestly can not get enough of polka dots, sequins, gingham prints and button up tops.  They come in such a variety that it becomes really tough to pass on an item until you get to your closet and realize maybe I need to slow down. Shoulder shrug.

You can never go wrong with sequins, in my books.

This blouse came sans the bow, an added ribbon turned bow goes a long way.

This weather is all over the place, warm one minute, cold the next.  One minute I'm bundled up the next baring the legs.  Which is probably why I have been fighting colds on and off.  I think Maryland is trying to skip out on Fall.

Another take on pattern playing - polka dots and houndstooth.  Check out my mix and match tips here.
