There is something iconic about polka dots. They are fun, flirty and timeless. Paired with scallops, you really can’t go wrong. This would be a perfect outfit for a wedding this summer. It is just fancy enough without being over the top.
But I will say this outfit falls a bit flat for me. The cut of the top doesn’t quite work with the swingy skirt. I had lusted over this tank all spring and finally bought it when it went on sale in two colors. However, the fit just isn’t quite right. It is slightly large. I wasn’t quite sure, so I decided to keep the white one seen here and wear it to work before I decided on the other color. The next day the other one was returned. It might be better with tighter fitting bottoms like skinny jeans and a blazer on top. I’ll keep trying to fit this top into my wardrobe, because it is just too cute to not try!
Have you had a piece that just didn’t quite work for you but are determined to make it work?

The outfit likely falls flat for you because of the lack of cats in the picture. Just saying.
Haha!
Haha that must be it 🙂
A very nice outfit for the summer!
Thank you Tori!
I think the boxier cut of the top will look totally cute with skinny jeans and pants!
I think so too! But I’m not ready to break out pants yet 🙂 Got to enjoy some of this warm weather.
Love the scalloped hem! So classic!

I love your top!! You look cute even if you feel the outfit fell flat
Thank you Angela 🙂
I love the scallop hem of the top, I can see why you want to make it work in your wardrobe! 🙂 It is nice with the polka dots but maybe a maxi skirt or pencil skirt would look better? It will definitely work well with jeans! 🙂

You had me at scallops. Love it!
Ha, thanks Sarah 🙂
Very pretty. I can relate to not totally “feeling” an outfit. Ha, I feel that way a lot about my clothes! Are your sandals gray? I love them.
Glad I’m not the only one! My sandals are a platinum type color. Love them because they go with everything!
