{ polkadotorama } costume II
today, i began to understand the 'challenge' part of my little wardrobe endeavor. i slipped on my spotted skirt easily enough, and began layering and accessorizing as usual. i was really liking the look, until i realized that one simple skirt did not my double-dot minimum meet. what to do?!

most days, i might have cinched the waist of
this sporty chambray shirt with a basic black belt and been done with it. but not today. today, i have a code to follow. so i grabbed
yesterday's blouse off the back of my dressing chair and tied it around my waist instead. i've got to give credit to streetstyle snaps of the sisters
olsen for inspiring this finishing twist ~ they've been bringing the 90's-style knotted shirtwaist back in a big way!
in the end, i loved the ethereal element it lent to an otherwise upright outfit ~ which i wouldn't have worn in this way, if not for my several-spot rule
du jour! i also enjoy the fact that, on paper, this ensemble has the exact same elements as
yesterday's (spotted shirt + skirt), yet in actuality, it exudes a very different vibe. two dotty days down, three more to go!

{ the true texan in me can't ever resist a pearl-snap shirt ~ but this is by far the prettiest i've found! yet another sure-to-be summer staple from modcloth! }
