Polka Dots

Polka dots have been all the rage this season. Some would possibly call them trendy, but I would like to call them a closet staple. It’s one of those patterns that is timeless to have in your arsenal (think Aubrey Hepburn classic). You can pull them out in any season and feel like a lady. They also can add a playful touch to any outfit.

I paired my polka dot button down with some cut offs and laid back Birkenstocks. I love that this shirt can easily be paired with black skinnies or a skirt for a night out. Want to wear it to church/brunch on Sunday? Add some cute linen pants like these. The possibilities are endless. If you don’t have any polka dots in your closet, now could be the perfect time to add them.

Here are some of my favorite polka dot pieces I need to add to my closet asap!

If you follow me on Instagram (@vivianandviolet) you probably have seen that we are expecting! My husband and I are overjoyed along with feeling super blessed. We can’t wait to meet our little one but for now, I’m just learning how to dress this new changing body (I’m currently 17 weeks!!). My pants don’t fit me anymore so belly bands to the rescue!

One thing that has helped me still feel put together are sundresses and I’m super happy they are always a staple during the summer. Add a little denim, a strappy sandal and you are golden. Plus an ivory sundress is always a good idea in the hot sun.

I would love to hear from you if you’re a new mom or already one. Tell me all about it! I’m trying to soak it all in. Have a great day!!
