My New Favorite Outfit: Polka Dot Love

Thursday, October 3, 2013

Polka Dot Love

Last week we had parent teacher conferences, which seems crazy that it's time for that already.  I like to make sure I dress very professionally, but still be myself. Our conferences are two nights, so for one of the nights I wore this outfit  again, seriously, it's one of my favorites. For the second night I wore this look. When I came across this blouse at Target, I knew it would be a great addition to my closet.  I feel like I can tend to neglect tops, but adding this blouse to the outfit as apposed to wearing just a plain white one makes the outfit a little more special, and I like that.

I'm still amazed by all the great options Target has like this blouse, and I can't believe its such a great dup for this Gap one at less than half the price. Crazy.  I might need that one too, two polka dot shirts is definitely not two too many. : ) So, what tips do you have for making your outfit special?

    I love that Target blouse you provided the link for! That would look great with a pair of dark skinny denim pants and brown booties! I just ordered a gray french terry top and a black top with leather short sleeves from Target! I am super excited to style them!! It is still in the 80s here, which is crazy for Ohio, but we are soaking it up!! Susan

    Love Target! Thanks for the link to that great top. I forget about shopping online at Target...there really are some awesome deals that are not found in the stores (or the store is out of my size). Enjoy the rain today!

    You look very professional but approachable in your outfit for conferences. That top is really cute and I love that you could dress it up or more casual.

    I would just like to say that we are color twins AND polka dot twins today...I have on that exact blazer but in the burgundy color, black pants, and a polka dot blouse. This made me smile because we are basically twinsies today!! Too bad my post won't go up until tomorrow, haha.
    LOVE the look, and Happy Blogaversary!! <3

    Cute! Hoping you will post a few casual cold weather outfits this fall like you did last fall. I originally loved your blog because some of your outfits could translate into SAHM attire. I do love your polished outfits, don't get me wrong! Just hoping to see a few Ginny Casuals coming my way! :)
