polka dot rock

There is a list in my life of a few things that I will never get sick of. Pickles, sour candy, lipstick, Mcdonalds cheeseburgers, and polka dots. You can imagine my excitement when Tieka asked me to do a clothing swap with her! I have always had a bit of an adoration for Tieka so wearing one of her beloved dresses is very exciting! I am so smitten with this one. I recognized it as soon as I took it out of the packaging as the one that she wore on her amazing photoshoot with Brett this past Winter! I love how she styled it with the belt and maroon tights! Its so fun seeing different people style the same item, no? I feel like I am so predictable these days. Leather jacket, these booties, vintage necklace..but at the same time, I am so unpredictable. Nathan says I definately keep him 'on his toes' when it comes to my fashion. He never knows what I am going to whip up each day. I guess thats a good thing, right?! :)

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. This week has gone by so fast for me so far. I love it! See you tomorrow..xoxo

    I love this dress...especially the length of the sleeves. The way you styled it makes it look so different from Tieka's! Looks like you're having so much fun in those last two pictures!

    I'll never get sick of polka dots either, my friends are always mentioning my tendency to overdo it with the polka! I have such dress envy right now, amazing that you got it via a clothing swap (: I love the blue against black tights, and your bag is so perfect! xx

    I love the dress on you, and it looks great with all the other dark colors. I think everyone has their own "uniform".

    I know some people are afraid to pair blue and black, but I personally love the combination, so I think it's great that you like it too. And polkadots.

    Ahh, every time I see those shoes on you I am in awe. I think you have the best shoe collection, ever. And that dress looks great on you! I think I would die of shock if Tieka asked me to do a clothing swap with her haha. And I'm SO SO SO glad that you got the dress! I was getting a little worried, even though I know it takes forever to ship internationally and stuff. I guess I'm just a worry wart! I am so excited to see what you do with it. Thanks so much for agreeing to take it off my hands (haha), I know it's not quite your style but I can't wait to see how you wear it!

    Also - I was creeping on your Formspring and I came across the question on abstinence before marriage. Can I just say that I loved your answer and I think I love you even more for that?!

    I think it's great to be unpredictable. You look absolutely darling in your polka-dot dress. I love the layered necklaces and how you toughened up your look with the jacket. Can I just say how much I love your hair too.
