Dot Dot Dot

Don't you just love polka dots?  I surely do.  My amazingly talented friend, Katie Browne of Box 11 sent over this rad polka dot blouse.  I love love love the bold polka dots mixed with the itty bitty ones. The lace pocket is a fabulous detail as well.  Made from thrifted & vintage fabrics, this blouse is one-of-kind, which means no one else has it!  Yippee.  Because I don't really believe in the rule; "less is more", I decided to go for the gusto and throw on a sequin blazer, carry a leopard clutch, and strut in one of the most bright heels I own.  Some may say it's outrageously overdone look, but I say it's my cheer-up-only-three-more-days-until-the-weekend outfit.

Remember, you can still save 15% off (code: elisharon) your Box 11 purchase, and free shipping is currently available for all Hawaii orders.  Along with Katie's super cute tops, dresses, and quirky card designs, she's recently created, the Slouchy Shoulder Bag.  Check it out, you'll surely adore it. :)

Plaid on Plaid

Today was my first day back to school.  I'm really excited for this semester because I get to work with knit fabrics.  I've always been intimidated working with knits, because they can be quite finicky, so I'm hoping that this course will allow me to hone in those skills needed to sew knit fabrics with more confidence.  I can't wait!

This plaid blazer is probably one of my fave thrift finds.  I love the shorter length and the shoulder pads.  Yeah, I dig a strong shoulder. :)  I've been on the hunt for some sequin pants and I happened to stumble across these the other week, while on the way to the ladies room in Macy's.  haha!  I like that they're jeans and that only the front half is covered in sequins.  Pretty unique if you ask me, and I don't have to worry about snagging any sequins when I sit down.  The price point was a steal, too.  What new sartorial pieces have entered your closet lately?
