catching up!

I finally have a few days off after a mad couple of overworked weeks.  In the meantime, I don't think I've documented one outfit- they've either been repeats of old favourites or nothing worth showing!  I realised though that the ol' peppered and striped skirt never actual made an official debut here, so here is an outfit set I loved from way back in January.  I should be thinking of spring and pushing this skirt to the back of the closet now, but we got more snow yesterday so I guess, looking on the bright side, I have a few more opportunities to try it with different options!

I find it goes with quite a range of colours and tops, as have other bloggers, but for it's first outing I stayed pretty simple with a navy polka dot J Crew sweater.  I love the way the dots interact- like a night sky, with the amber glow of street lights against the stars.
Navy J Crew Jackie cardigan, thrifted J Crew navy polka dot sweater, Anthropologie Peppered and Striped skirt, Grey Camper heels.
 And a few more options I haven't tried yet- I'm especially excited to try it with the ruffly plaid!

I was so excited to discover the everybody everywear site awhile back, but then I kept missing their posting deadlines (and I'm still not quite sure how the posting is supposed to work, but we're in there now with so many other lovely polka-dotted ladies!

    I love that you picked up the yellow in the scarf instead of going with the obvious yellow top, cute!

    I love the skirt too. If the fabric is lightweight enough you could even wear it into June. With yellow maybe.

    I love your description of the outfit, as well as the outfit itself! I can't wait to see future styling of the skirt! I'm particularly intrigued by the purple plaid.

    Double mini polka dots for the win! I can't express how very, very much I love this. And I don't know if you participate in Everybody, Everywear, but tomorrow's challenge is polka dots (http://www.everybodyeverywear.com) and you should submit this look!

    A double dose of polka dots - now that's my kind of outfit! I adore this look - the skirt is a fanatastic piece to have. I would love to see it with the ruffled plaid shirt. I think it might create a preppy-chic kind of look :-)

    It really is a great skirt. I don't own it myself, but it looks great on everyone. I love the different styling options, I'm excited to see you wearing the skirt with stripes and plaid.

    Hi Sarah, This is really nice :) I have only worn this skirt once. I guess it's too late to wear it now. We are beginning to get into the 80's already. It's suppose to reach 83 today. So I guess I'll have to wait till next year :( check out the blog. I posted about how awesome your sensevof style is. You are so good at the way you dress. You dress for YOU. I think that's really great. You still wear Anthro but you use it hear and there and always have amazing vintage pieces. Have a great day!

    I really love the shape of that skirt and the way it falls. Really classic.
    And double dots? Overachiever!

    Thanks for joining us at EBEW today!

    ooooh, this is beautiful. subtle...can polka dots be subtle? i didn't think so, but i'm loving the whole calm/sophisticate vibe of your ensemble. i think the scarf is the clincher, at least for me. beautiful color.
