What NYC Recessionista Wears: dots on dots

Greetings from the land of the eternal summer … fall still hasn’t made a proper appearance yet this season, and I am starting to think Mother Nature may skip over it altogether.


Bauble Bar necklace (similar) / LOFT herringbone blazer / Old Navy polka dot button-down / letter ‘A’ bangle c/o Gorjana-Griffin / moon and star bangle (similar) / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova / J. Crew Factory polka dot pants / Target ankle boots

Because the polka dots on these pants aren’t too obvious (they’re barely even visible in these photos), I can totally pair them with another polka dot piece … this button-down. Don’t be too afraid to pair polka dots with polka dots, or striped with stripes, or even florals with florals.  Just make sure they’re two different sizes or textures…

I have to admit, I feel a little Alex P. Keaton in this blazer …
