Spotted

F21 blouse, LOFT sweater, Target faux leather pants, Steve Madden heels, Charming
Charlie cuff and necklace
When I put on this polka dot blouse, I realized that the sleeves were too short. No worries, I just turned the cuff back and pushed up the sleeves to give this more of a relaxed look. Cuffing a sleeve and pushing them up a bit is a great way to still get plenty of use out of a blouse, sweater, or blazer if the sleeves are just a tad too short.


As much as I adore color, I can't seem to get away from black and white (you can see a few cases here and here). I think it just might be my favorite combination.


Have a fantastic weekend!

    I roll my sleeves up all of the time. Now I'm not sure if I just buy things at an awkward length or if I just like things there haha.

    I love a good polka dot blouse. I am always cuffing and pushing sleeves up; I love the look but also have long arms, so for a lot of tops it is a must! Great tips on layering in your previous post- so handy for this time of year!

    I love your style, and how seemingly simple this look is with the pairing of black, leather and polka dots! The bold jewelry definitely makes a statement too! I found your blog via the LC forum and thought this was a great way to connect to fellow bloggers. I am now following you on Blogloving and GFC, feel free to stop by my blog too!
