Next time you're shopping, why not try on a few dots to see what you think? You never can tell till you try something on whether or not you will look good in it.Sue in Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005957373268201709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596162853017328439.post-6323520187638661612014-06-08T09:01:36.591-07:002014-06-08T09:01:36.591-07:00Thanks, Robin.

I had to smile about not wearing baggy tops over a baggy top half!.I have some floral items too, mainly scarves, but tend to be drawn to polka dots and stripes as I said in the post. I am thinking of having a couple of items altered, including the dress. I'm too busy planning holidays at the moment, but will have a pinning session when we get back from them!Sue in Spainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005957373268201709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596162853017328439.post-37595850554291664732014-06-06T15:02:20.209-07:002014-06-06T15:02:20.209-07:00The new dotty dress is really nice, I especially l...The new dotty dress is really nice, I especially like the little sleeves, which I think make it a little more stylish.<br /><br />I personally wear a lot of stripes, maybe I should experiment with dots too.Brindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365565694163030828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596162853017328439.post-45628470305697758372014-06-05T05:14:44.076-07:002014-06-05T05:14:44.076-07:00I like the sleeves on the new one but the neckline...I like the sleeves on the new one but the neckline wouldn't work for me, which is often an issue when I look for tops. I'm with Juhli about looking into tailoring before tossing. But you say the dress isn't comfortable so that's the main criterion (for me, anyway). <br /><br />I dislike polka dots and stripes, in general, but will wear a floral IF it's highly stylized and modern feeling--which I guess is a bit of an oxymoron. I'll wear florals if they don't look like florals! I do wear "dots" I guess but only if they look modern and swirly more than "dotty."<br /><br />Your point about wearing dots with freckles helps explain that while I often get solid color tops, I am really drawn more to prints since my skin is patterned with freckles too. As long as we don't start wearing baggy tops because our skin isn't as firm as it once was, I think we're on the right track!Robin Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596162853017328439.post-53177538600844421842014-06-04T14:25:42.419-07:002014-06-04T14:25:42.419-07:00Thanks, Callie.
