how to wear polka dots and spots

I am in so love with polka dots and spots right now! The Zara jeans I have had for a while, they are very similar to a pair of Marc Jacobs jeans that were retailing at £110! These were £30; a bargain! I have always wanted a polka dot blouse so I was very happy when I saw this one in Topshop. I think the blouse and jeans work well together. What do you think?





We took these photos in a cute little village not far from where we live. The sun kept trying to come out! We were on our way to a quaint pub for lunch. A great way to spend a Saturday!

What would you wear a polka dot blouse with? Linking up with Patti at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday, Elena from DC in Style for Monday Bloom, Renae from Simply Sequins for Fashion Friday and Rachel from Rachel The hat for Passion for fashion, Friday Fab Favourites and What I Wore.

I'm wearing

Ted Baker bag (last seen here)
Primark sunnies
Topshop necklace and rings
River Island bracelet

    1. Awwww thank you very much. This has fast become my favourite outfit. Apparently if the pattern is regular then it's polka dots. If the pattern is irregular then it's spots! :-)

  3. Hi Rachel! I have an award waiting for you over at http://lookingforgab.blogspot.com!
