OTI: Pretty Prints
12 Jun
Cardigan – The Limited | Dress – Ann Taylor | Necklace – Jewelry trade show | Shoes – Nine West
Day two of the Open to Interpretation Challenge!
Today we are interpreting this outfit modeled by Reese Witherspoon:

The first outfit I put on today was a much closer approximation of Reese’s outfit: polka dot dress with a sheer striped navy three-quarter sleeved knit top over it. However, it looked too casual for a day of leading training sessions (welcome to part of my day job) so I opted for the white cardigan.
I did stick with the color scheme of navy and white, though. And the printed skirt with a knit layer up top. But, the first outfit I had on looked so stinking cute that I’m excited to wear that on another day! Thank you, OTI for giving me a new and different way to wear this dress!

Cat prints can be worn to the office when you keep them simple and sophisticated. Here are six options.
This week is Bike to Work Week in Chicago and since I only live 1.5 miles from my office I do occasionally bike there.
The great thing about a denim or jean jacket is that you can find one at literally every price point.
Sometimes you see an outfit on someone and you think, “That works, but I don’t know why.”
Head over to the other Chicago Erin at Color Me Styled and read my guest post on what I’m planning to pack for vacation next week!




This polka dot dress is fantastic! What a great summer piece!
Thanks! I always forget it’s in my closet. Hopefully I’ll break it out more this summer.
Such a pretty dress — you look great!
That dress is darling! I love the polka dots!
I even bought it before polka dots were “in”. I guess I was ahead of my time!
Thank you!
Such a cute dress!
Thanks!
That dress is so dimensional! From afar it kind of looks like honeycomb put then up close you see it dots. I love it!
Oooh, I never noticed that before. Fun!
