[…] button-up polka dot dress. I’ve worn it previously on the blog with a tweed jacket and once with a bow belt, but this weekend – I wore it simply with a summer straw hat and a pair of Steve Madden […]
So I guess I’m getting a little better at this… 😉 I knew I wanted to wear my favorite vintage polka dot dress, purchased by my mama in Napa Valley at Betty Girl’s Boutique! It used to be our favorite place to visit in California when my older sister lived there! I think I need to make an excuse to get back to Napa Valley, I mean hey, why not?!
I meant to go thrifiting this week and was hoping to find a fun, bright, patterned cardigan like this. Instead, I opted for my new cardigan from 10DollarMall (which will be coming up soon in another outfit post… stay tuned)! So basically I threw this together this morning, and we take pictures at night… so here are some iPhone pics to show details! (Sorry, next week real pictures I hope). The theme this week was cute and quirky. To me the polka dots and bow belt represent the cute part, and pairing it with a fun, bright color brings in the quirky. Again, I think a patterned, or bright neon cardigan might have done that even better, but I love the way this outfit turned out! Have you thrifted anything cute or quirky lately?!

![[AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers.

You always find the best things at thrift stores! I need to check out the stores around me this summer
Yes you should! Sometimes I come out of stores empty handed, which sucks because it takes a lot of time to go through stuff. But finding great pieces makes it all worth it!
Cutest dress ever! What a wonderful thrifted find! I love it with the cardigan too – can’t wait to see how else you styled the cardigan!
That retro dress is so so pretty as is the belt. Perfect match together. Loving that last photo also.
I too am wearing a Polka Dot Dress today. =)
Wow. That dress is phenomenal! It reminds me a little of Alice in Wonderland… which is like my favourite book of all time, so that dress has now become my favourite dress. So so cute!
Darling, darling, darling! and a true vintage piece, just love it!
