This weeks challenge is the polka dot! You may have noticed already but I love polka dots I wear them nearly everyday so the only hard decision for this weeks challenge was which outfit should I wear?
I considered leaving this dress for yellow challenge later on but I wanted to show something a little different than just black and white or red and white polka dots.
This was a very experimental dress I made when first learning to sew I have to wear a cardigan with it as I bunged up the back a little, but it still makes a cute outfit even if I do look a little like snow white.
What I wore-
Dress- home made
Cardi- City Chic
Shoes- Diana Ferrari
Pearls- Gifted
Broach- Diva
Sunnies- Can't remember (cheap)
If your interested in seeing other ways in which I style polka dots check out these posts here and here and there :)
What a gorgeous dress! I love the colour and style. You did a great job sewing that one together...regardless of what the back may look like.
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Lisa!
DeleteThe outfit you have put together is lovely. You and Jeanie have lovely black flats, that is the next item on my to buy list. In the meantime I have to wear my very old ones, oh well I guess I may be lucky and get them before I wear the outfit. Your outfit is in keeping with spring racing and all those other events that are going on.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! Black flats are a recent thing for me, they have been a long time dream as I have gigantic feet! size 12-13. When I do find a pair that fit they are usually priced in the $100+ region and I defiantly cannot afford that. Found these on my last trip to brisbane during a massive sale 75% discounted, slightly small but stretched because they are leather. Ive never been to the spring races, when I lived in Melbourne I was tempted but just too many people hehe.
DeleteOh, I LOVE this outfit SO much! I love the blue & yellow colour combo (throw in red and you'd remind me of Snow White! Loving the sunnies too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie! I did have a red flower broach to begin with but was beginning to think it might be overkill hehe. The sunnies were a cheap internet find under $10! Thanks again!
DeleteSuch a sunshiney colour, I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It matched the sun on the day for sure!
DeleteI love, love this. The colours are my all time favourite {not even wearing them every day as part of my primary school uniform could kill that} and they suit you beautifully. Somehow I think I'm going to need a lot more practice before I sew myself something as fab as this dress! Haha. LOTS MORE.
ReplyDeletepractice makes perfect am I have a lot more practice to be done for sure. I broke two needles on Sunday and reverted back to basic elastic bands instead of nice finishings haha. You had a yellow school uniform! wowza! I bet those photos are gorgeous! Im so glad your having a go at sewing!
DeleteThat yellow/blue combo is just awesome!! I wish I knew how to sew a lovely dress like that. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bek! I loved your outfit this week too, I wanted that dress but missed out! xo
DeleteLooooving the colour combination! You look amazing in yellow and blue. Your dress is super cute. Love the neckline. Awesome polka dot outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie! Its fun to see how else we can wear spots not just the usually black and white (which I love). I love your outfit this week the purple gave it a fun spark!
Deletewords cannot express to you how much i love this look! i adore yellow and blue together i have no idea where the obsession started but its there. you look fabulous and I'm in love it! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I just saw your post now and I am in love with both your dresses aswell!
DeleteThat dress is ll kinds of lovely! The colour is great! Love it :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! It felt lovely too :) I am in love with your scarf in your post and what a bargain!
Deleteanother tempting post that has me thinking 1. why didn't i get my mum's sewing genes and 2. where is my janome? love the yellow with the blue (my footy team are these colours - so gets my tick of approval)
ReplyDeleteGet out the Janome and hop to it, practice makes perfect! xo
DeleteWow, those colours are popping on you: you look fab. Kudos to your sewing skills! Love the sunnies too: I've got the same ones! So obviously I think they're fab!
ReplyDeleteThanks MisseEvie! Sunnies are new thing for me as I just got contacts, I like these frames they pretty swish!
