Optical Illusion

Polka Dots & Denim

In case you couldn’t tell, I love patterns. Although stripes have been making frequent appearances in recent weeks, polka dots are still my favorite. When I wore this outfit to work, several people told me that they liked my dress. Surprise! It’s actually a skirt and top.

I’ve had this skirt in my closet for a while, and decided to mimic the illusion caused by the layers of dots on top as well. I started with a dotted cami and added a sheer blouse with slightly larger dots. Tucked into the skirt, it ended up blending perfectly and looking like one intentional piece. I even shied away from my usual pop of color and kept the palette neutral with a denim jacket, bib necklace, and some wedges. Dot dot dot.
