dots or squares? who cares!

Skirt- Joe (Clothing Swap); Top, Belt & Ring- Thrifted; Boots- Aldo; Nail Polish- Cerise by Sally Hansen

Today it's dots or stripes over at Fashion Remix Week (hosted by the lovely Megan & Keely) but for some reason I just couldn't seem to style an outfit with my striped and dotted pieces so I threw on this fun green skirt I got at a clothing swap last weekend.  Because we all know squares are the next best thing to dots- right? I wore this outfit to skincare genius Thann's media event (where the alluring aroma of lemon grass tempted me to buy one of their oriental essence scented candle- yum!)  followed by a Stella & Dot party (where I finished off my family Christmas shopping- you heard me right, finished!)



{Not satisfied with the squares? Check out some of my polka dotted and striped looks here, here, here & here!}



{Besides being a bad veggie, I've been a baaaad blogger.  Since I haven't been able to stop by your blogs in the past couple of days I'm making it up to y'all by spending my Friday night blog reading and commenting- because that's my idea of a fun time- no seriously it is!}

  1. Well if you took polka dots and infused them with stripes, you'd get squares. You were just working with synthesis. ;D

  2. Yeah. They're kind of polka dares, or squipes. I'm totally with you on this. :) I like the pop of green with the black. Very pretty!

  4. LOL--my idea of fun too! That's why i'm still up at 1:37AM! It's worth lack of sleep to see how cute you look though:-) I'm digging those green squares, pink nails, and lovely black cocktail ring...and the boots of course!

  7. What a fantastic skirt! I love how you have styled it!

    I am a vegetarian in that I don't eat anything that poops, but I don't know that I can give up wearing leather shoes or carrying leather bags. Baby steps, I guess!

  14. They are less 'square' and more 'beveled quadrilateral'. Love the color.
    I'm glad that you admitted to Christmas shopping early because I MAYBE have a list written out of things to buy. I hate waiting till the last minute, I usually get them all purchased by the end of November and then just sit back & relax. :)

  20. I'm insanely jealous that you're finished with your Christmas shopping. I haven't even figured out who's on my to-buy-for list this year.

    Squares are just as good as dots. I'm not picky. :)

  21. I'm catching up on my blog reading too (and laundry)! Your skirt looks like gingham from further away but I actually like the mod print better. It's fun too how you picked up on some neon colours in your belt and nail polish.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
