I had to dig back to some older pictures to find my one and only polka-dot item in order to join in party with my blogger friend--Tammy over at Silverstyle--for "Through the Decades." Polka-dots go with anything, don't you think?
And of course, I want to party with Patti over at "Not Dead yet Style" for Visible Monday. Looks like Patti and I are mixing with the polka-dots. Polka-dots are on my list for fall--I loved the Marc Jacobs polka dots that I've been seeing around.

My dirty little secret to being visible? I'm sporting PURPLE lipstick. Yup, you heard me. Purple. Now just bear with me--it actually works. Not as some funky, weird, not-human type of lip color but as a HUMAN pink that stains my lips and stays with me all day! Who would have thought?
You look fabulous Paula...this is a great outfit! Now go party with some flesh and blood people!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the mix of patterns here and the flirty hem on the skirt. You're getting a lot of mileage out of one outfit--Visible and Tammy's meme.
ReplyDeleteHad to do a double-take and scroll back for a second look at the lips. Amazing.
Hey girlfriend! polka dots and pattern mixing keep you young. But I did not know about the purple lipstick. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteLove the polka dots! And the lipstick! I've actually been looking a good purple lipstick. I may go check this one out!
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of pattern mixing and you look incredible! I love the pattern of that blouse and a polka dotted skirt is so versatile! I really like how the purple lipstick adds glamour to the look!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I swear I would have never thought to pair dots with another pattern, you and Patti have me saying why not? It works. and looks great.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up.
This is so fun!
Yes!!!!!!!! Polka dots DO go with everything! I love what you've worn here - the skirt is such a beautiful cut and the floral top is perfect with it. Hooray for purple lippy!!!! xo
ReplyDeleteGood looking lipstick! You're right that it's not a color I'd have gravitated toward, but it's not as overwhelming as you'd think.
ReplyDeleteVibrant and beautiful in your polka dots with ravishing lipstick. And the floral top fits with perfection!
ReplyDeleteYou know, polka dots are something that I never, ever do.... but I really don't know why. I think you're right: they do go with everything! Your look is smashing.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have guessed you were wearing purple lipstick, but that sounds like fun. I never think of trying different colors for nail polish and lips. Hmm.
ReplyDeleteHi Paula, sorry i called you Patti in the previous, sorry!!! You just inspired me PAULA! i will wear my polka dot skirt in a different way
ReplyDeleteAriane xxxxx
That outfit is seriously fantastic!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the pattern mixing you've got going on over here and I LOVE that you are wearing purple lipstick! I have pulling out all my dark nail polishes for fall, now you've got me thinking I need to move this moody shades up to my mouth as well! Woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteI love this print mix, Paula! It's one of my favorites I've seen! Everything is pretty but unexpected.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is an ensemble that seems like it would work, but it looks GREAT! You are really pulling it off and I love that lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI adore the way you mix polka dot with that darling blouse. Plum/purple lipcolour is very trendy this season. Looks good on You.
ReplyDeleteHaha purple lipstick! Looks great on you I bet!
ReplyDeleteI love polka dots <3

Paula, Is it a bad thing to jazz it up with collages? Do you think it's to much change?
ReplyDeleteI think they are cute. You know, lends a little "class" to the joint!
I like to learn new things.
Hope to see your animal print take.
I know it will be great!
I love that lipstick! Unfortunately I purchased it but it made me look like the undead. When I was younger I could pull it off, but these days it's not so easy! I'm glad it worked for you though. Love that line of lipstick don't you? My favorite is the "park avenue peach" color.
