You can wear it under your dress or on top and knotted on the hip. It not only allows you to wear a regular bra 🙌🏼 but it adds a layer making it more visually interesting. I popped a belt on with some bright flats and finished the look off with a hat. Spring time perfection.

The theory is because it is predictable it’s easier to watch and has a calming effect. Fast forward to me switching between Grey’s Anatomy, Schitt’s Creek and The New Girl when I’m stressed out. Do you do this too?? Tell me I’m not alone!

Amazon Essentials are some of my go to knit pieces. They are comfortable, true to size and hold up well to a wash and wear lifestyle.  I’m rounding up a few of my favorites on @liketoknow.it. They have a jumpsuit that was my uniform last summer and it should be in your closet.

I feel like all of my posts are about the weather I feel like all of my posts are about the weather lately. But seriously. It’s still cold. They tell me it’s going to warm up this week but I’m worried it’s just fake spring. That groundhog said, I said six more weeks of winter.

It’s very cold and I have run out of cute things to wear while semi freezing. It’s just not worth it. My clothes are not made for wind and super cold temps. Is there a brand you love that makes warm clothes for the freezing days?  This southerner needs advice.

National Polka Dot Day – 50 Polka Dot Items on My Mind

It’s National Polka Day! The high holy day of Minnie Mouse, Marylin, Lucille Ball and Me!

Polka dots are a fun and flirty pattern that are perfect in black, color, mixed with florals and anything in between. It is my absolute favorite pattern and I have more polka dots in my closet than any other pattern! But where did people’s love affair with polka dots start? Well I will tell you!

History

Before we get into my favorite items I want to give you a little history lesson. Although polka dots can be traced back to the time of the Industrial Revolution the first time they were written about was in 1857. An issue of Godey’s Lady’s Book they referred to the pattern on a scarf. Polka Dots gained popularity in America around the 1920’s. In 1926, the winner of Miss America wore a polka dotted swimsuit followed by Minnie Mouse donning the iconic print in 1928 with her matching skirt and bow. By 1930 polka dot dresses were appearing in all of the stores. In the 1940’s Christian Dior launched a line of polka dot body fitting dresses he called the “new look”.

A few more things… The word Polka is polish and means Polish Women. Polka Dots come in a variety of sizes and colors but they are always a pattern of regularly distributed dots.

So who has famously worn them? Well Lucille Ball, Marylin Monroe, Twiggy, Goldie Hawn, Princess Diana and Julia Roberts just to name a few.

So what am I shopping for?

I am always in the market for more polka dots. Some of my most favorite ways to wear them are skirts, bow tops and bathing suits. These items are all on my radar!

As always this is your reminder that dressing is fun! Never take what you are wearing too seriously and be confident in your choices. That is truly what makes people look the most chic and put together.

XO,

Tiffany
