Daily Threads: EBEW Polka Dots

{old navy top: similar, Merona Black Cardigan, F21 Red Skirt, guess booties: similar}

Today's post is a double whammy! It's not only my last outfit of the Winter 30x30 Challenge (woohoo, cheers in the background), but it's also EBEW Polka-Dot day! So I'm knocking out two things in one - always a good day when you get a two-for-one deal!

This particular look was actually one of the first few looks I planned on wearing; however, the weather has a mysterious way of changing my plans. When the challenge started, it was freezing - so I decided I'd wear this on a warmer day. Well it definitely warmed up, but I somehow lost sight of this. Now that the challenge has come to an end and it's freezing again - but I wore it anyway.

I'm planning on a 30x30 Remix Roundup post - I'd like to see all these looks side by side - I fear they all may be similar. We shall see! After that I have tutorials, recipes, beauty posts, and spring time outfits planned! I'm super excited! And for those of you wondering - I will have the knotted bun tutorial up SOON! I just need to go record it...

    I like your outfit, too, but I don't like the brown shoes... I would prefer black (patent) shoes...or maybe red so that the outfit becomes more...rockabilly style :)

    So fab! I didn't include any polka-dots in my remix. I don't even own any polka-dots for that matter. Something I need to get on...
