the polka dot

I've always loved a polka dot (see here layered over another print, polka dot denim here paired with more denim, here mixed with leopard and here mixed with florals).  As you can tell, I love mixing prints.  But this polka dot sweatshirt is cropped so I paired it with a high-waisted denim skirt.  It was another beautiful weekend and we headed out for ice cream.  At first I thought it was too warm to wear this sweatshirt, but it's light enough that I wasn't too hot and later it had cooled down so it kept me warm.

Speaking of loving polka dots, I just ordered these 7 For All Mankind High Waist Short with Frayed Hem and Dot Stamp.  If it wasn't warming up here in the South, I'd be jumping to buy this Rails Perci Sweater, which is now on sale!  Below are a few other polka dot items I'm eyeing:

Tularosa Dylan Romper, $198;
Tularosa Hattie Dress, $168;
  Majorelle Bali Top, $148;
Faithfull the Brand Lavender Top, $119;
English Factory Sleeveless Maxi Dress, $78;
Endless Rose Red Polka Dot Dress, $100;
ASOS Design Ruffle Cami, $32;

When it comes to polka dots, I'm like a moth to a flame.  This is my second Dolce Vita polka dot romper (other seen here) and third polka dot romper overall (a black MBMJ one with white polka dots, which I bought years ago and am still obsessed with).  I don't know if you would consider this a problem at this point, but if I see another polka dot romper, there's a good chance I will be buying it.

current obsession: polka dot denim jacket

(Marc by Marc Jacobs Lily Distressed Denim Jacket: saks.com)

I always have a problem deciding whether I want to buy clothes that are now up to 70% off, or to start picking up items for spring.  I have done a little bit of both.  But there's nothing I hate more than winter, so looking at spring stuff makes me have happy thoughts.  I have an obsession with polka dots so when I saw this jacket, I had very, very happy thoughts.
