Black Polka

1
Hat - Claire's, Shirt - Philipp Russell, Leather Shorts - Vintage,  Socks - H&M, Wedges - Mango

Today is Polka dot day over at Everybody Everywear! Once a month they post a fun challenge like nautical stripes, blazers or polka dots and many of us fashion addicts take the challenge to style our favorite matching items for the occasion. It is really fun, I love checking out my fellow participants looks and meet new bloggie friends. I had a hard time with this polka dot challenge as in fact I don't own too many polka dot items. This silk blouse is a long time favorite (so long that it could almost be called vintage) while the polka dot socks were originally purchased as ski socks! (Talk about a remixer. :) Are you wearing polka dots today? You can still join us! ;)
