denim and polka dots with metallic and lizard - a dress for today WIW

May 16, 2012

It will reach 86 degrees today and be sunny! This is what WIW today. The dress is the polka dot dress I have posted several times combined with my trusty denim jacket. The only new item in the outfit is the sandals which I purchased a couple of years ago. I really like them but had trouble figuring out what to wear them with. Hope you all think they work with the outfit.

    Totally works Meredith!

    Very pretty! I like it without the jacket!

  • Tanya replied 11 years ago

    Beautiful! You look effortlessly stylish.

    @Shannon,
    Thanks m'aam!

    @Modgirl,
    I like it without also but really need arm coverage in the office. I love my denim jacket but would like to find what that is more fitted in style - similar to the one Angie wore in today's blog post.

    Did you try the express jacket? Angie posted a bunch recently. Also if you have an H&M near you, they have many cropped little denim jackets right now. Just don't get scared of the sizing. I am a 0 in AT jackets and a 6/8 in H&M jackets.

    The sandals look great with it! The whole outfit looks great. Another spectacular Meredith success.

    Those sandals are just fantastic - definitely time for them to come out to play. Perfect pattern mix with the dress. Enjoy your taste of summer today!

    @Tanya,
    Thank you so much!

    @modgirl,
    I have ordered the express jacket a few days ago but it hasn't arrived yet! I hope it fits properly. Unfortunately there are no H&M's near me! Thanks so much letting me know about their sizing.

    @K can shop,
    I'm so glad you like the sandals with it!

    @christieanne,
    Thanks for liking the sandals. It's definitely warm enough to wear them!

    I like it better without the jacket too. Fabulous dress and sandals :-)

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Love that dress with the sandals! I would also prefer a slimmer, more cropped jacket here, but my fingers are crossed that the Express will work. Enjoy that lovely weather!

    Lovely! I think the sandals work really well. Another vote for a cheekier cropped jacket, but looks like you've got that covered :)

  • Makrame replied 11 years ago

    That is a gorgeous dress, and the sandals work so well with it! Fab!

  • Kiwichik replied 11 years ago

    So cute - love those metallic lizard sandals with the polka dots.

  • cheryl replied 11 years ago
