That Polka Dot Dress
13 Aug
Dress – Ann Taylor | Top – Old Navy | Necklace – The Limited | Shoes – Nine West
Looking at these photos I get the feeling I would be more at home somewhere like Martha’s Vineyard instead of in a high rise office building in downtown Chicago. But since it’s cool, gray and rainy in Chicago today I’ll just imagine I’m somewhere on vacation instead.
This is the second time I’ve worn this dress on the blog. The first time I actually mentioned this particular outfit but this is the first chance I’ve had to wear it. Also, another outfit where I’ve turned a dress into a skirt? I’m liking this versatility! It’s a great way to take a summer dress and transition it into fall.

For those of you looking for casual outfit inspiration, this one’s for you! 
Nothing is classier to me than tweed and a pencil skirt.
A reader recently contacted me and asked for help with a pair of ankle boots she just bought.
Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying. 
Gorgeous dress!
Thanks! I think I originally got the idea of wearing a dress as a skirt from you. Be proud!
Loving the navy blue! And I’m jealous of your rainy day! Although, we get plenty of those here in Portland.
A Portlander is jealous of our rain?! What is the world coming to?
L-OVE! So, so cute.
Thanks!
I love this entire look!! I had never thought to make a dress into a skirt before I began blogging – now I’ve tried it myself a time or two. I agree – versatility is nice!!!
Thanks! I agree that without blogging and reading other style blogs I wouldn’t have thought to wear dresses as skirts. Yay for blogs!
I really like this polka dot pattern, it looks a little geometric with the dots close together like that. It’s always nice to get a little extra use out of a dress, I love sweaters over my dresses in the winter.
That’s the same thing one of my friends said about this dress being almost geometric! Love that it looks so fun to other people, too.
