Style Challange: Polka Dots!



 
 


 This is the first "Style Challange" I've been faced with that was actually a challange for me.

I've always admired the chic, classic look of polka dots, but when looking through my closet I noticed I had two...only TWO items with a polka dot print. What have I been thinking!

So as those two polka dot printed tops have been tired, I did a last minute DIY. 

I took a shirt that hadn't seen the light of day in some time, made a stencil and sprayed away. There are definitely imperfections, but overall I'm pretty pleased with my newly polka dotted top!  

Pared with a tonal pieces, and a pop of red and I present to you a pretty chic look!


Oh yeah...it's FRIDAY!

    Beautiful top! I may have to search through my closet for an old, loose tee to do this project as well. Love the punch of berry lipstick with your outfit

    The imperfections is what give the chic, boho character of this top. Congratulations.
