So I wore this, substituting a biggish sweater for the sweatshirt and flats for the runners. What do you think?
The floaty skirt I found in the PJs section - it came with a matching tank, but I don't think it is nightwear. It's that chiffony fabric that wouldn't be very comfortable to sleep in. There are 2 sizes of dots: big yellow ones and small white ones.
I didn't have a blue tee and black seemed to clash so I decided to go overboard on the dots and wore my dotty black tee with my dotty made-it-myself scarf which has yellow and black dots.
Here's a closeup:
I liked all the dots, and it was comfy, but the whole outfit felt a bit frumpy (or perhaps the lower half) - I think because of the shoes. Plus the skirt was a bit big so I had to wear it lower down than usual.
I'm linking to these link parties today:

Thanks Jyoti!
Deletei don't think you look frumpy! i think you look cozy and i love all of the polka dots!
ReplyDeleteHey Megan and Nora! Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteI really like combining polka dots like this, Narda - and I don't see frumpy at all. You look pulled together and very happy!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Patti - it was actually fun going overboard on the dottiness.
DeleteI keep wanting to do one of the TwoBirds challenges, but I never have the pieces. I want to applaud your take on it. I had no runners and didn't even try!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've been checking it out each week because Mongs usually links up, but always AFTER when it is too late. Then this week for once, I saw the inspiration before Monday et voila!
DeleteI love pattern mixing so I don't think you went overboard on the dots at all- just the right amount of busy. You look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bella! I like mixing patterns too, but sometimes am a bit unsure if I've done it right.
