Que Bella – Dots

Here’s Wednesday’s outfit, which I loved! The J Crew Seersucker pencil skirt from Summer 2011, the Linen Dot Popover, and the latest Anthropologie Wrap Around Blouse that I found on sale and my trusty CL Simple 70s in Navy. 

The Wrap Around Blouse has lines on the body and polka dots at the neckline and tie. I think this was a good match in colors. 
I must confess, if I haven’t already, the Linen Dot Popover was a total blogger peer pressure purchase. Originally, I was not a fan when it first came out. Especially when I heard it was pretty thin and see-through. Then I kept seeing it on bloggers and in the store and then on more bloggers and right as it sold-out I wanted it. I was able to find it on ebay and have worn it several times already, as seen below. I am wearing the popover with the Morse Code Cafe Capri’s and the Safari Pumps from a few years ago. I’m happy with the Morse Code Capri’s and they will serve me well through the rest of the year.
Do you ever have an item you didn’t like when it came out but then were “swayed” after a few weeks?
Have a Great Day!

    Love these outfits! I was smitted after seeing the top originally, but for some reason held off. I guess I was disappointed in its sheerness and assumed that I could catch it for a lesser price once it went on sale. It's so hard to predict how certain merch sells at jcrew, because I had no idea it would ever sell out before even hitting sale! Thankfully, I found one at the Clearance Center for a great deal. I've only worn it once so far, but I have a feeling it'll be a well-worn piece in my wardrobe.

    I've done that before too…an item is just ok and the more you see it, the more you decide, "I really do like that."
    Love the look of the dots and stripes!

    I have had quite a few items that when I first saw them online, they didn't really catch my eye. But after seeing it on others, they start to grow on me. Your linen dot popover is one of them. Looks gorgeous on you!

    Adorable outfits and soooooooo cute on you, Audrey! You might be sending me to eBay in search of that popover, LOL! (How's the sizing run on it??)

    I especially like it with the Morse Code cafe capris — which is another cute piece I hadn't looked at. Now cut that out!!! 🙂

    I always like unexpected combinations- both in colors and patterns, stripes with dots are supercute.

    Very cute. The sweater looks great on you. I like the pattern combo. Yeah, I hear you. I also love the items that are new to me but have probably been on the website for eons. I feel like I've discovered a secret.
